Ingredients

• chicken drumsticks - 4 pieces (about 800g)
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• paprika - 1 teaspoon
• ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• bbq sauce - 1/2 cup

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the drumsticks from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
5. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush BBQ sauce over the drumsticks, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
6. Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with additional BBQ sauce on the side.
