- 8-12 medium Chicken Drumsticks
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil avocado oil works great too
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Dried Sage
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ cup Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- ½ teaspoon Salt
In a large bowl or a freezer bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, dried herbs, onion powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well, then add the drumsticks.
Allow chicken to sit in the drumstick marinade for 2-24 hours in the fridge. Once the chicken has finished marinating, from from the bag or bowl and let the excess drip off.
Preheat the grill to medium high, or about 375-400 degrees F. Cook drumsticks on the hot grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip. Continue to cook until all sides are golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
Remove drumsticks from the grill and let them rest on a baking sheet or platter for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
