Ingredients

8-10 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Preheat the grill to 350 degrees. Make sure your grill is clean! Lightly spray the grates with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the chicken, grill for about 25 minutes total, flipping the chicken every 3-5 minutes so it doesn't burn.
Chicken is done when the internal temperature is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate - Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To freeze, place chicken in a freezer-safe container and store for up to three months.

Reheating - Reheat your cooked chicken legs in the oven at 350°F until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a microwave, using 30-second intervals until hot throughout.
