Instructions

Season the Chicken: I add chicken drumsticks to the large bowl, as well as olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Rub to coat each piece thoroughly.
Bake or Grill: For baking, Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part of the meat. For grilling: Heat the grill grate to medium-high heat. Grill drumsticks for about 20–25 minutes, turning every 5–7 minutes until juices run clear.
Make the Chimichurri: While the chicken cooks, add parsley, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, vinegar, lemon/lime juice, and olive oil to a food processor. Pulse until you get a slightly chunky sauce. Season to taste
.Serve: Drizzle the chimichurri generously over the drumsticks- or serve it as a dipping sauce on the side. Save extra sauce in an airtight container for next time or for another meat dish.
