Lemon-Lime Marinated Chicken Drumsticks …a perfect summer recipe!

 

We are a grilling family.  My favorite part of summer is being able to move from the kitchen to the back deck for meal preparation! Actually truth is, it’s because my husband is quite the grilling master….which gives me several months of not having to think about what I’m going to cook for dinner that night!

Lemon-Lime and Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken Drumsticks

As long as I keep us stocked in chicken, burgers, steaks and seafood all summer long…I’m guaranteed a night out of the heat of the kitchen!  I recently created this recipe around one of my husband’s favorite things….Sriracha. Are you familiar with it? It’s a spicy chili sauce that is great on just about anything and was a perfect addition to my lemon-lime yogurt marinade!

Lemon-Lime and Greek Yogurt Marinated Chicken Drumsticks

This refreshing marinade, with the added  “kick” from the Sriracha chili sauce, can be used as a dipping sauce for the Lemon-Lime Marinated Chicken Drumsticks which turn out perfect juicy whether grilled or if needed, baked in the oven.

Lemon-Lime and Greek Yogurt Marinated Drumsticks

This refreshing marinade contains a little “kick” with the addition of Sriracha chili sauce. The marinade can be used as a dipping sauce for the drumsticks which turn out perfect juicy whether grilled or baked in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 12 pack of chicken drumsticks
  • 16 oz. Plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 Tbs. Lime juice, fresh or bottled

  • 2 Tbs. Lemon juice, fresh or bottled

  • 1 Tbs. Fresh Italian Parsley, chopped
  • 
2 Tsp to 1 Tbs. Sriracha Chili Sauce (to taste)

  • 1 Tbs. honey
  • 
1 Tsp salt
  • 1 Tsp. white pepper

Instructions

  • Rinse drumsticks, pat dry and remove skin of drumsticks if desired. Combine in a medium bowl yogurt, lime and lemon juice, Sriracha chili sauce and honey; whisk together. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper. Separate drumsticks evenly into two gallon size storage bags. Pour 4 ounce of marinade into each bag, reserving the remaining 8 ounces for dipping sauce. Divide and sprinkle chopped parsley into each bag. Seal bags and rotate several time to make sure chicken is well coated with marinade. Refrigerate at least 4 hours flipping bags over occasionally to coat chicken.
  • Grilling: 
Preheat grill to medium-low. Place drumsticks on grill. Close cover, and grill 8-10 minutes, brush with any additional marinade and flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 20 minutes total.
  • Baking:
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly apply non-stick cooking spray to foil. Place drumsticks on baking sheet, being careful not to overcrowd so they will brown nicely. Brush on some of the remaining marinade from marinade bags. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and flip drumsticks. Continue baking until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 10-15 minutes more.
  • Remove and serve with remaining marinades as dipping sauce.

There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of your labor! The whole family pitched in to get our bark spread around the yard (I’m the master at raking it until it’s nice and even) and by the end of the day we were all done. Now we can head into summer with our big yard projects completed! 🙌🏻 Do you put in fresh bark every year?
Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’ Welcome June! I’m so glad you’re here! What’s your favorite thing about this month? Mind can be summed up in this quote…

“In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different.” John Steinbeck
“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom “No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
General Douglas MacArthur

Grateful today and every day for those who were vigilant to the point of death in the preservation of our freedom and the principles upon which our country was founded. May we honor their sacrifice by being vigilant too. #memorialday
I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables t I’ve been on the lookout for small side tables to pit next to our outdoor couch and when I spotted these plant stands at @walmart from their @betterhomesandgardens line I knew they would be perfect…and they are!! 👏🏻 This is not a sponsored post. I’m just happily sharing this great find and why we should always be open to thinking outside of the box when it comes finding solutions for our decorating dilemmas.

Now we’re ready to head into this beautiful weekend! ☀️
What do you do when you want to use a bunch of boo What do you do when you want to use a bunch of books in your decorating but it can cost $50 or more for just ONE brand new book? Head to the secondhand bookstore of course! I’m so excited about this new look in my family room and this easy, inexpensive decorating tip I’m bringing to you for this #tiptuesday
Today feels like one of those days that is worthy Today feels like one of those days that is worthy of a chef’s kiss. Blue sky with nary a cloud in sight, perfect mid-70’s temps, a gentle breeze blowing through my hair as I walk around my yard to see the status of my flowering plants.

This morning I was running errands and the weight of hard things that are happening in the world, the culture, my own community and even in our circle of friends just felt so heavy.

But, as I was exiting a store, I passed a couple who were in their late 60’s/early 70’s and holding hands as they walked through the parking lot. I happened to glance over just as the husband lifted his wife’s hand up and planted a kiss right on it. It was a moment that reflected such love and tenderness and it was made sweeter by the fact that they weren’t spring chickens. I felt honored that I had been the one to observe and appreciate that moment.

What an incredible thing it is that as humans we are able to hold so many emotions in our souls all at once. To feel sorrow for the pain a friend is enduring, grieve the decline of a culture drifting further from the Lord, ponder how to navigate a challenging school situation, marvel at and enjoy the beauty of creation right outside my door and feel joy at getting to see a tangible example of lasting love while walking through a parking lot.

I truly believe that as we mature in our lives and in our faith, we learn to embrace the tension that comes with the collision of different emotions and recognize that they can all coexist at the same time without one taking something away from another. Simple joys make the hard stuff a bit easier and hard stuff makes us appreciate those simple joys even more.

What’s a simple joy that you are thankful for today?
Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here Oh what an absolutely lovely weekend we had!! Here are some highlights…

*Friday night I joined some wonderful ladies at church for a time of fellowship and yummy desserts. I made a strawberry lemon coffee cake and it was amazing if I do say so myself. ☺️ We are new-ish to this church and have just felt so warmly welcomed and folded in which has been very healing.

*Saturday was filled with getting our outdoor spaces spiffed up and my guys got our new table put together!

*Sitting outside for lunch with a yummy salad and iced tea felt like a little slice of heaven.

*Sunday we went to the iris gardens with my in-laws and then came home for naps and the most mouth watering ribs that my sweet husband had on the smoker all day.

*This glorious weekend ended with some ferocious rounds of UNO-corn (a hilarious version of UNO) and brownies my sweet daughter made for our dessert.

How was your weekend sweet friends? 🌸
I am absolutely and completely a better version of I am absolutely and completely a better version of myself when the sun is shining! Raise your hand if this is true for you too.

And, not only do I feel myself seeming to physically rise up from a slumbered state to greet the sunshine we've been longing for, I find that it seems like my house is rising up too. Every room, every nook and cranny (even though I now see dust bunnies that I missed during my cleaning on the dreary days), every leaf and flower outside...it's all coming to life and breathing fresh hope into my spirit. What a gift it is to be able to enjoy this home in all of the seasons of the year and of our lives. Now, I'm going to head outside and clean our deck and maybe there will be some time leftover for those dust bunnies!
I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispenser I’m slightly obsessed with these glass dispensers! They come with pre-made labels for SO many different options and would make a great Mother’s Day gift! I love how they add a bit of pizzazz to my kitchen. And they go perfectly with some of my antique accessories like the little dish my mother in law gave me for salt and pepper and the tiny toothpick holder which belonged to my great grandmother. 

If you’d like the link to order them, just leave a comment with the word ‘bottles’ and I’ll send it your way. They’re even on sale right now! 🙌🏻
The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This The lilacs are coming! The lilacs are coming! This is what I’m thinking (and sometimes saying out loud) every time I pass my dining room window and see my lilac tree bursting forth. I should probably just go full Paul Revere and ring a bell while I shout the news for all to hear. I’m sure my family would love that!

Lilac season is so bittersweet because it’s over way too soon but, fortunately, I’ve figured out how to capture the deliciousness of the fragrance by making my own lilac scented room spray. It’s SO simple!

Directions: Fill spray bottle with 50/50 ratio of water to vodka.

Add 12 drops of lilac oil. Give it a shake, spray and if the scent isn’t strong enough, simply add a few more drops of lilac oil.

This sweet little project was first featured in my book Life in Season and is definitely one of my favorites.

Have the lilacs started blooming where you live?
