Ingredients
  • MARINADE
  • 20 chicken drumlets, about 3½ pounds
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced thin
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • GRILLED VEGETABLES
  • 4 ripe Roma tomatoes, whole
  • 1 Large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 yellow corns
  • Olive oil for brushing or spraying the vegetables before grilling
  • Melted butter for brushing over the grilled corns
Instructions
  1. Peel and thinly slice a medium yellow onion.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together ½ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup vegetable or olive oil, ¾ tsp kosher salt and ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Wash, then pat dry the chicken drumlets with a paper towel and add to a shallow 2-quart glass baking dish. Add the sliced onion and marinadte to the chicken, and toss all of them together for 3-4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate 24-48 hours. Turn the chicken pieces once or twice during this time.
  4. Bring the marinated chicken to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
  5. Brush the grid on your outdoor grill with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium setting.
  7. Use metal skewers or a metal grilling basket to grill the vegetables. Brush or spray the vegetables with olive oil before grilling.
  8. Remove all the corn silk, but leave some of the husks on when grilling to prevent burning. Remove the husks once they start turning black and continue grilling the corns. Cut the grilled corns in half and brush with melted butter before serving.
  9. Remove the chicken drumlets from the marinade. Use the marinade to baste the drumlets ONLY during the first half of the grilling time.
  10. Grill the drumlets for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally until browned evenly and no longer pink inside in the thickest part.
