Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup Light beer
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine light beer, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken drumsticks into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting.
Place the drumsticks under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for 25-30 minutes, turning the drumsticks every 10 minutes and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy and lightly charred.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the drumsticks reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dish or a light salad for a wholesome meal.
