Ingredients
Directions
Combine onions and garlic in a large bowl.
Season chicken drumsticks with cilantro, oregano, cumin, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place chicken into the bowl with onion mixture. Squeeze lemon juice over chicken, slice the rinds, and place into the same bowl. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator, 20 to 24 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Cook on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a drumstick reads at least An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 30 to 45 minutes.
Cook’s Note
About 12 hours in, I transferred the chicken and lemon marinade from the container to a large, freezer-sized zippered bag to ensure the flavors blended. You can do this however you want; you can use no container at all, just a bag, or even just the container.
