Grilled chicken recipe

– 7 chicken drumsticks
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 lemon (juiced)
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Place the chicken drumsticks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are evenly distributed.

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the drumsticks on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Let the grilled chicken drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
