Instructions

1
Rub chicken drumsticks all over with barbecue spice rub and 1 tsp salt (omit the salt if your premade spice rub is particularly salty). Place drumsticks in a Suvie pan and cover with barbecue sauce.
2
In a separate Suvie pan, stir together the corn, butter, milk, sugar, and ½ tsp salt.
3
Place chicken in the top zone of Suvie and corn in the bottom zone. Input settings, and cook now or schedule.
4
Remove pans from Suvie. Pour barbeque sauce into a bowl, return pan to your Suvie, and broil chicken for 8-10 minutes or until browned.
5
Stir corn and season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, puree half the corn mixture in a blender or food processor until creamy, and then recombine with remaining corn. Divide chicken and corn between plates. Serve extra barbeque sauce on the side.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat drumsticks dry before rubbing with spice to help seasoning adhere and encourage browning if seared first.
Stir the creamed corn gently in the last 15 minutes to avoid breaking up kernels; taste and adjust milk ratio for your preferred consistency.
Use a slow cooker set to low for 6–7 hours to render fat from drumsticks and tenderize meat; high heat (3–4 hours) will dry them out.
Layer drumsticks skin-side up on top of barbecue sauce so they brown slightly and don't simmer entirely submerged.

Substitutions

Barbecue sauce → hot sauce or tomato-based wing sauce (adjust sweetness)
Unsalted butter → heavy cream or sour cream (skip milk, use 2 tbsp cream instead for richness)
Fresh or frozen corn → canned corn kernels, drained (reduce milk to 3 tbsp and skip sugar)

Storage & make-ahead

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in a 325°F oven, adding a splash of milk to loosen the corn sauce.
