Cinnamon’s subtle flavor complements the basil and paprika’s aromas in this original marinade. The apple cider vinegar adds its special touch and ties everything together in a mouthwatering experience. A must try! Basting brings out the flavors so be sure not to omit these steps!

Recipe Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 8 chicken drumsticks

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Whisk olive oil, cider vinegar, paprika, basil, celery salt, mustard powder, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add drumsticks, coat with the marinade, squeeze excess air from bag, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  3. 3 Remove drumsticks from marinade and shake to remove excess moisture.
  4. 4 Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
  5. 5 Cook drumsticks on preheated grill, basting frequently with heated marinade and turning 1/4 turn every 12 minutes, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 48 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

    I don't have a grill so I put the chicken on a broiler pan and took the advise of another reviewer and baked it for 1 hour at 400 degrees on the middle rack. I turned the drumsticks every 15 min and basted them with a brush. I made another batch of the marinade as - Read more ...

    Marinated 24 hours then threw in the oven for 60 mins at 400F. It was amazing! I paired it with honey and biscuits! Yum

    The BEST marinade ever! I will never eat plain chicken again! So simple to do. If you do chicken beast I recommend that you slice it in half to make sure you get the flavor all the way through it. This is a definite must try! You won't regret it!

    I couldn't find my matches so I couldn't BBQ the chicken. Instead I put it in the oven at 400 F on a raised rack for the same out of time turning and basting occasionally. I did add a little bit of sugar as one user recommended. It was a hit with everyone.

    Excellent! My whole family loved these. And I only marinated for 2 hrs. This will become a regular meal at our house.

    This is so easy to make and it's a big hit with my husband every time I buy drumsticks now he asks me to make these! The only thing I do differently sometimes is add a little bit of sugar (like a pinch) to the heated marinade. Wonderful recipe!

    this was so tasty.. i don't know if marinating did it but the basting is absolutely necessary.. i cut the oil in half and added 2 tablespoons of water to make up for the lost liquid.. didn't have celery salt so used 1/4 tsp celery seed and a little more than 1/2 tsp of regular - Read more ...

    Great flavor.. i was looking for something quick. I only marinated for one hour. There wasn't enough left over marinade so i made another batch of the marinade for basting. I will definitely make again.
