All this warm weather means grills are firing up every day! This drumstick recipe is super quick. Just make sure to get your marinade started early! 

INGREDIENTS

1 package of SVO Farmer Focus Chicken Drumsticks, about 4 large drumsticks
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large plastic bag, add the chicken, olive oil, and lemon juice. Sprinkle all the seasonings on top then close the plastic bag and massage the chicken to distribute the liquid and spices. Make sure the chicken is well-coated.
2. Place the plastic bag in the refrigerator and allow the chicken to marinate for at least two hours.
3. Once you’re ready to cook the chicken, heat your outdoor grill on high then place your chicken on the grill and cook thoroughly, about 12-17 minutes. The time it takes to cook will be dependent on how thick your drumsticks are. Drumsticks usually take a bit longer to cook because of the bone. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
