Spicy Grilled Drumsticks

What a beautiful day in Minnesota. We’ve been fortunate that this summer has been cooler than normal.

So ~ my husband has been doing a lot of grilling this summer. I come up with the recipes and he heads out to the grill to “cook” them.

We tend to have a lot of chicken thighs and breasts but one day I decided to venture out of the norm and get some drumsticks. This paleo Spicy Grilled Drumsticks recipe came out delicious! How did my brain manage to do that?

First I bought a pack drumsticks.

In a small bowl, using a whisk, I mixed the ingredients with the olive oil.

In a separate bowl, after cleaning and drying off the drumsticks, I added them to a bowl then dumped the olive oil mixture on top. Next I mixed it all together.

  2. In a small bowl, add the olive oil and the rest of the ingredients then whisk them together to combine them.

That’s it! Such an easy and tasty recipe.

I served this with a baked sweet potato and a cucumber/tomato salad.
