Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 4 teaspoons pimenton (smoked paprika)
  • 2 teaspoons each: salt, ground black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder
  • 3 pounds (about 14) chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon
Instructions
  1. Mix pimenton, salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Drizle chicken with olive oil; toss to coat and then sprinkle with smoked paprika mixture to coat evenly. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead or refrigerated over night; return to room temperature)
  2. Heat all burners on a gas grill on high, about 10 minutes. Use a wire brush to clean grill rack, and then lubricate it with an oil-soaked rag; close lid and make sure the grill returns to temperature.
  3. Place chicken on hot rack; cover and grill until impressive grill marks form on one side, 4 to 5 minutes Turn chicken over and continue to grill until impressive grill marks form on remaining side, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Turn off all but 1 burner, move chicken to opposite side of burner and continue to cook chicken indirectly until fully cooked, about 30 minutes longer. Remove chicken from grill; squeeze with lemon juice and serve.
