Ingredients

Chicken drumsticks
2 lbs (approx. 900–1000g)
Olive Oil
3 tbsp
Lemon Juice
3 tbsp (freshly squeezed)
Lemon Zest
1 tbsp
Garlic
3 cloves (minced)
Dried Oregano
1.5 tsp
Dried Thyme
1 tsp
Salt
1.5 tsp
Black Pepper
1/2 tsp
Garnish
Fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley

Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2

Marinate the Chicken: Add the drumsticks to the bowl, toss to coat thoroughly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
3

Preheat the Grill: Heat your outdoor grill or a stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F–400°F / 190°C–200°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4

Grill: Place the drumsticks on the grill. Cook for 20–25 minutes, turning frequently every 4–5 minutes to ensure even charring and prevent burning, until the skin is golden-brown and crispy.
5

Check Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F–175°F (75°C–80°C) using a meat thermometer.
6

Rest and Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
