A flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring spiced chicken drumsticks paired with a refreshing avocado salsa.
Prepare the chicken by removing the skin and placing the drumsticks in a mixing bowl.
Removing the skin helps the spices adhere better to the chicken.
Add olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Ensure all drumsticks are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Clean the grill grates before preheating to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned, about 20 minutes.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare the salsa by halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the avocado and onion, and chopping the cilantro. Combine in a bowl and drizzle with lime juice.
Gently mix the salsa to avoid mashing the avocado.
Serve the grilled chicken with the avocado salsa on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
