Grilled Chicken Drumsticks are a staple of summer grilling. Chicken drumsticks are the best choice for grilling because the meat stays juicy while the skin becomes crispy. This dish is simple yet incredibly appetizing, as the flavors imparted by the spices and the grill fire provide a unique experience in every bite.
Preparing chicken drumsticks is very easy: season the meat and then grill until the meat is cooked through but still retains its juiciness. During grilling, the skin becomes crispy, while the inside of the meat remains tender and flavorful. Grilled chicken drumsticks pair perfectly with side dishes such as salad, roasted potatoes, or even corn on the cob. This dish is guaranteed to liven up any summer meal.
Thoroughly wash the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Hungarian sweet paprika, oregano, basil, and lemon juice.
Coat the chicken drumsticks in the marinade and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Grill the marinated chicken drumsticks on a grill rack or bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve with fresh vegetables and salad before serving.
