Ingredients
  

8 chicken drumsticks

1 cup barbecue sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix to create a marinade.

    Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

      Preheat your grill to medium heat.

        Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and shake off excess.

          Place the drumsticks on the grill, cooking for about 10 minutes on each side.

            Brush barbecue sauce on the drumsticks during the last 5 minutes of grilling for a sticky glaze.

              Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

                Remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

                  Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
