We call R. B.ās house the Cave. His pals love his Shangri-la of music, motorcycles, guitars, cold beer, and firewood, where caveman chitchat comfortably drifts into menswear sales, paint colors, and advances in toaster oven technology. Turkey drums fit the Cave scene with ease. All rubbed and sauced, Caveman Drums enable cavemen to maintain cavelike machismo while tiptoeing around the perimeter of their feelings. Bottled wing sauces are a cheater cinch, but, cāmon, be a man. Brush on a cheater interstate sauce (pages 38 to 43). You better have some stored in the fridge.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
HEAT the oven to 350Ā°F.
Step 2
MAKE two 3-drum foil packs for easy handling. For each pack, place three drumsticks on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to seal tightly.
Step 3
DRIZZLE 1 tablespoon of the oil over each pack of drumsticks, coating the skin until itās shiny. Sprinkle all sides of the drums with 2 teaspoons of the dry rub per foil pack.
Step 4
SEAL the two packs and place them on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast the turkey for 1Ā 1/2 hours, or until tender. Unwrap the packs and discard the juice.
Step 5
HEAT the broiler. If saucing, brush the drumsticks with barbecue sauce before broiling. To crisp the skin, broil the drumsticks 4 inches from the heat source for about 5 minutes per side.
