Ingredients
  

For the Drumsticks
  • 8 Chicken Drumsticks
For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the drumsticks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to your preference. Serve with your favorite barbecue sides.
