Equipment

  • Grill or baking sheet

Ingredients

For the drumsticks:

  • 4 pounds chicken drumsticks I like Butcher Box! Use my link to save on your first order. You can also use chicken breasts, thighs, or wings.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup dijon mustard skip for AIP
  • 2 whole lemons juiced
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil

Garnishes (OPTIONAL)

  • red pepper flakes omit for AIP
  • green onions
  • chives

Instructions

  • Heat up the grill to 400 degrees F. If you do not have a grill, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the drumsticks with the oil, salt, and garlic powder. Lay the chicken in a single layer on the grill or on a baking sheet. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes for a total of 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • While the chicken is cooking, mix the sauce with a whisk. Once the chicken is done, either use the sauce to dip or to pour over the chicken. Garnish with red pepper, chives, or green onion if desired.
