How to make Healthy Chicken Marinade

Combine all the Marinade ingredients ( olive oil, garlic, vinegar, basil, oregano, sage, onion powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest and salt) in a Ziplock bag or Bowl with a lid. Whisk together with a fork. Add the Chicken drumsticks and toss until all the chicken is covered in the marinade.

How to Bake Drumsticks:

If you are baking the drumsticks, simply take the chicken out of the marinade and place down on a greased baking sheet. Flip the drumsticks over after 20 minutes and continue to cook until the internal temperature of the drumsticks registers at least 165 degrees.
Let the drumsticks rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

How to Grill Drumsticks:

Preheat the grill to a medium to medium high temp. If your grill has a thermometer on it, it should register around 375- 400 degrees. Take your chicken out of the garlic and herb marinade and place the drumsticks on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes and then flip the drumsticks. Since the drumsticks are round, you can cook them on all "4 sides."
Let the drumsticks rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
