- 6 chicken drumsticks skin-on
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

- While the grill is heating up, combine the brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a bowl. Dredge the chicken in the spice mix.
- Once the grill is hot, brush some oil, then arrange the chicken drumsticks over it and grill for 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes until cooked through (the chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
You can also use a grill pan if you don't own a grill.
Leftovers: Place leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bag as soon as it cools. Refrigerate for 3-4 days. If you want to freeze them, place the drumsticks in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat, I like to add them to a skillet with a tablespoon of water and rotate them until they are crisp and hot.
