Ingredients
  

For the Drumsticks
  • 12 Chicken drumsticks
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Large bowl
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  5. Place drumsticks on the preheated grill. Grill for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can baste the drumsticks with any accumulated juices on the grill during the last few minutes of cooking.
