Chicken Drumsticks

Lately Chris has been making us chicken drumsticks for dinner and they are SO GOOD! He usually grills them for us and it make the skin a little crisp and is a lot like eating fried chicken. These have quickly become a favorite at our house and everytime we have served them to guests at our house, they have also raved! This is also a great way to feed a crowd for not a lot of money!

Ingredients:

chicken drumsticks
olive oil
Greek Seasoning

Directions:

Wash chicken drumsticks and place in a pan. Baste with olive oil on both sides. Season with Greek Seasoning. We have tried other seasoning combo's but this is by far our favorite!

You can either cook them on the grill or bake them in the oven. We much prefer them on the grill because they make the skin crispy and are so so yummy but have also made them in the oven when the weather was threatening storms, and although not as crispy, they were SUPER juicy!

For grilling:
We use a charcoal grill and this will vary per fire and grill but I think Chris cooks them over a medium fire (probably around 350-400 degrees) for about 12-15 minutes on each side.

For baking:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil, sprayed really well and put the drumsticks on the pan staggering end to end so they are not touching and have a little room between each. Bake for 20 minutes on one side at 375. Remove pan, increase temp to 400, turn all drumsticks and bake for another 25 minutes at 400.

Enjoy!
