Creating Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken Drumsticks is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring that they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Drumsticks: Remove drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill. Cook for 30-35 minutes, turning every few minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and displays nice grill marks.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy meat.
6. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with additional lemon zest and fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!

These straightforward steps guide you in crafting a delicious main course that is satisfying and flavorful.
