Background

This a people-pleaser at BBQ events - both adults and kids just love it! It's very easy to prepare, which can be done the night before or a couple of hours before cooking. The drumsticks are delicious cold too, so any leftovers are perfect for a picnic.

Ingredients

1kg chicken drumsticks
2 Tbsp lemon zest
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves pressed garlic
2 Tbsp (lemon) thyme
1 Tbsp marjoram (or oregano)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground pepper
Lemon slices to serve

Instructions

Put the chicken legs into a medium-sized plastic bag (e.g. freezer bag).
Chop the herbs and mix with the other ingredients. Pour this dressing over the drumsticks. Tie the bag and massage the chicken legs thoroughly inside it.
If you have time, marinate in refrigerator for about 2 hours or even overnight.
Barbecue or grill the drumsticks until they're cooked through properly.
At the same time cut slices of lemon and barbecue or grill these until slightly caramelized.
Serve with the barbecued lemon slices and some salad or grilled veggies.
