Grilled Lemon-Oregano Drumsticks – seriously delicious!! So simple and it packs a ton of delicious flavor!! Drumsticks marinated in lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic, olive oil and salt. Our FAVORITE grilled chicken!! #keto #paleo #lowcarb #grilling #grilledchicken 

This recipe is from the Epicurious app on my iPad.  I absolutely LOVE this app!  It has tons of great recipes from all over the place – books, web, magazines.  I picked this recipe because I have been growing oregano in my herb garden and had some chicken legs in the freezer. I also go to use my microplane to zest the lemon.

This was a really quick marindate to throw together.  I let the chicken sit in the refrigerator overnight (as I do with almost all my meat).  We had experimented on cooking time with our Chipotle Chicken Legs, so cooking was a breeze this time.  The chicken was tender and juicy and had fantastic flavor!  I served it with some easy roasted Greek potoatoes.
