Easy Grilled Drumsticks

🇺🇸 United States

Servings: 6 Prep: 5 minutes Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 1/2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks (or thighs)

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, seasoning salt, oregano, and paprika to make the marinade.
  2. Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a gallon-sized zip-top bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, remove air from the bag, seal, and squish to coat evenly.
  4. Refrigerate the bag on a plate for 4 to 12 hours to marinate.
  5. Preheat the grill to 425°F and clean the grates thoroughly, then brush or spray with cooking spray.
  6. Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the hot side of the grill; sear all sides.
  7. Move chicken to the cooler side of the grill and continue cooking, flipping to brown evenly, for a total of 18-22 minutes.
  8. Cook until internal temperature reaches 170°F, then remove to a plate and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Marinate for at least 4 hours, up to 12 hours, for best flavor.
