fresh cilantro and lemon wedges, if desired for serving
Instructions
In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, turmeric, pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne.
Add marinade to drumsticks (I use a zip-top bag but a bowl or baking dish would work as well). Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
When ready to grill, heat grill to medium heat. Remove drumsticks from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place drumsticks on grill and cover grill. Grill for 18 to 20 minutes, turning once, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
Nutrition Information calculated with 1 tablespoon olive oil since most of the marinade is discarded.
