Grilled chicken recipe 

This grilled chicken recipe is easy to make and full of flavor. With a mix of garlic, lemon, and spices, these chicken drumsticks are juicy and delicious. They’re perfect for a quick dinner or a fun weekend barbecue. The lemon juice makes the chicken tender, and the spices add a tasty kick.

Marinating the chicken is the key to getting great flavor. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes, or even better, for a few hours. This will help the flavors soak in and make the chicken extra juicy. The mix of paprika, thyme, and oregano gives it a nice aroma that goes well with the smoky grill.

Whether you’re using a gas grill or a charcoal one, this recipe is simple to follow. Turn the chicken a few times to cook it evenly. You’ll end up with crispy, golden-brown chicken on the outside and juicy meat on the inside. Add some fresh herbs on top and serve with your favorite sides for a delicious meal everyone will love.

Ingredients

To Make this  grilled chicken recipe, you will need :

• - 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.
