Lemon Garlic BBQ Chicken Drumsticks w/ Feta Walnut Green Salad
Ingredients:
6 chicken drumsticks
1 tbsp olive oil
2/3 lemon juice (reserve a used, half lemon)
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp oregano
8 cloves minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 cup spring mix (or any fresh greens)
1 oz. crumbled feta
1/4 cup toasted, roughly chopped walnuts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
1/2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup, chopped mint
salt and pepper to taste
6 Steps/Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the marinade for the chicken by whisking components together. Reserve about a cup of the marinade and half of a used lemon.
​
Step 2: Toss the drumsticks in marinade and let it sit for 20 minutes.
​
Step 3: In the meantime, toast walnuts. Do not chop them before toasting. Simply add walnuts to a lined baking sheet and bake at 350. Takes about 5-10 minutes to turn brown, watch often as they can burn quickly. When cooked, put aside to cool.
​
Step 4: Preheat the grill for medium-high. Add drumsticks. Try to scoop the garlic out and place on top of the chicken. You will need to turn and baste every 5 minutes for 30 minutes. I used the half of the lemon to dip into reserved marinade and baste. Yum.
​
Step 5: When drumsticks are almost done. Whisk the honey, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together. Add greens, crumbled feta and chopped toasted walnuts.
Step 6: Enjoy drumsticks with salad and the few days of summer left!
