hey guys

I have a rub for 2 baby back ribs 5lbs total. So i want to use the rub for chicken drumsticks, how many drumsticks do you think i need to match 2 baby back ribs 5lbs or decently coat the drumsticks...

2 baby back ribs 5lbs total = ____ chicken drumstick

Thanks

That should be easy enough, Mulak. When you go to the store, pick the package(s) that total 5# or have the butcher provide you with 5#.

Just a guess that a drumstick might weigh about 4oz, you'd require 20.

So:
4oz=20
6oz=15
8oz=10
12oz=7-8
16oz=5

Ciao,
I hope my math's right. I haven't finished my first cup of coffee.

I'm on the west coast, and the coffee is still brewing, but Steve is right on the money.
Always keep your calculations in the same form, ie ounces/pounds, or piece/piece, etc.
What kind of rub are you using? I just perfected a 10 minute marinade for chicken using, 2T balsamic vin, 1 Tsugar, 1/2 cup lime juice, and a tiny bit of oil, and any chopped fresh herb, that is awesome. The marinade time is the best!
Have a great day!
Off for coffee,
