Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat each piece thoroughly with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Once heated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on the grill.
Grill the drumsticks for about 20-25 minutes, turning them every 5-7 minutes for even cooking, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Whole30-compliant meal!
