Instructions

1. The night before, make the sweet corn slaw: cut the kernels from the corn cobs, finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, and chop the cilantro. Toss them with the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper; cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. The night before or the morning of the cookout, mix the mojo marinade in a sealable container or bag: orange juice, juice and zest of 1 lime, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken drumsticks, turn to coat, and refrigerate until ready to pack in a cooler.
3. At the park, light the charcoal and set up a two-zone grill with coals on one side and a cooler side for gentler cooking; let the grate heat until hot, then oil it lightly.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill drumsticks over the cooler side, covered if possible, turning every 5 minutes, for about 25 to 30 minutes total.
5. Move the drumsticks over the hotter side for 3 to 5 minutes, turning often, until lightly charred and the thickest part reaches 175°F; if flare-ups happen, move them back to the cooler side.
6. Rest the chicken on a clean plate for 5 minutes while you stir the chilled corn slaw and adjust with an extra squeeze of lime or pinch of salt if needed.
7. Plate 2 drumsticks per person with a generous mound of sweet corn slaw alongside; sprinkle with extra cilantro for a bright, picnic-ready finish.
