- 2 tablespoons dried parsley

Instructions
- Combine the13-14 chicken drumsticks, 1 cup water2 tablespoons vegetable oil , 2 tablespoons dry minced onion, minced 4 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons dried parsley, 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, 1 tablespoon dried basil and 1 cup lemon juice all ingredients in an extra large airtight plastic bag. Seal and massage into chicken. Keep refrigerated for 2-24 hours. The longer it sits, the more flavor it will pack.
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat or surface temp of about 400°F. Lightly and carefully coat grill with cooking spray. Technically you should not use an aerosol near an open flame, but I think it works best.
- Place the chicken on the grill in indirect heat, discarding the marinade.
- Turning every 7-8 minutes for 30-35 minutes. Chicken should be an internal temperature of 165°F when measured away from the bone.
- Remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
