This is a recipe that I like to use to grill chicken drumsticks in the summertime, especially when they are on sale (like they are for $.99/lb. at Meijer this week!).  This is a healthy alternative to frying, AND there is no skin on the drumsticks in my version of the recipe!  Enjoy and LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

Ingredients

• chicken drumsticks (about 10 or so)
• juice of 2 lemons
• 1 tsp. basil
• 1 tsp. oregano
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• couple dashes of pepper
• couple dashes of sea or kosher salt

Directions

• Begin by cutting the skins off of the chicken legs.  I do this simply by pulling the skin down toward the bone (from top to bottom) and then snipping the skin off with kitchen shears. 
• Place chicken in a medium-sized dish and stab each drumstick a few times with a knife. 
• Squirt lemon juice over the chicken and be sure to cover all of (or most of) the drumsticks.
• Add basil, oregano, garlic powder, pepper, and salt to the chicken.
• Cover and shake the chicken so that it is all coated with lemon herb mixture
• Marinate for as long as you can (usually I do this for an hour or two)
• Throw chicken drumsticks on the grill for about 20 minutes on medium to medium-high heat, turning them a few times so they don’t burn.
• Eat up!

YUMMY!
