Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 3
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to ensure the skin is crisp when grilled.
Step 4
Brush the marinade mixture over the chicken legs evenly, ensuring each piece is well-coated, particularly under the skin for extra flavor.
Step 5
Place the chicken legs on the grill, skin-side down first, and grill for about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Flip the chicken legs and grill the other side for an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
Step 7
During the last 5 minutes of grilling, drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the chicken legs for an additional burst of flavor.
Step 8
Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help retain the juices.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides.
