In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined to create the marinade.
Add chicken drumsticks to the bowl, ensuring they are completely coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place them on the grill.
Grill the drumsticks for about 20-25 minutes on each side, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Once cooked, transfer the grilled drumsticks to a serving platter.
Garnish the drumsticks with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly grilled chicken with a side of your choice!
