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
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.
