Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 pounds chicken drumsticks (8-12 drumsticks)
Instructions
- 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 chicken drumsticks.
- Allow chicken to sit in the drumstick marinade for 2-24 hours in the fridge. Once the chicken has finished marinating, remove 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!
Notes
Baking drumsticks: cook drumsticks in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for about 35-40 minutes, turning them halfway through. Once the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, remove chicken from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
