Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice in a large bowl to create the marinade.
Pat dry the drumsticks with paper towels and add them to the bowl. Toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F). Lightly coat the grill grates with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the drumsticks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing the grill.
Place the drumsticks on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 15 minutes on one side. Flip the drumsticks and grill for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (measured with a meat thermometer).
For a smoky char, cook an additional 1-2 minutes per side, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.
Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, healthy meal.
