Balsamic Marinated Chicken Drumsticks

Combine the balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano into a gallon sized ziplock bag or a mixing bowl and mix well.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (optional for easy clean-up) and place a wire rack on top.

Step 6

Remove each marinated chicken drumstick from the bag, and lay it in a single layer on top of the wire rack, making sure the drumsticks aren't touching each other.

Step 7

Place chicken into the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the internal tempereature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

Serve hot and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
