                      Instructions
                       

                      • In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, cider vinegar, paprika, basil, celery salt, mustard powder, ground cinnamon, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
                      • Season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper and add them to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly.
                      • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
                      • Preheat grill to medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C).
                      • Remove drumsticks from the marinade and let excess drip off.
                      • Grill the drumsticks for 35 to 40 minutes, turning every 7-8 minutes for even cooking and nice char marks.
                      • Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
                      • Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
                      • Serve hot with your favorite sides for a delicious barbecue meal.
