Let the savory adventure begin!
Start by folding over the edges of a large freezer bag, as shown above.
Add 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped, fresh oregano,
1 teaspoon lemon zest,
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice,
2 tablespoons of the best olive oil,
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt,
and 2 minced garlic cloves. Grind in about 1/2 teaspoon fresh black pepper.
Add about 10 chicken drumsticks to the bag, squeeze out the excess air and seal it.
Move the chicken pieces around in the bag to coat with the marinade.
Marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, turning once in a while. Or marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Grill on medium-high heat, browning on all sides, about 30 minutes.
