You can, of course, buy marinated drumsticks ready-made. But then you need to find out exactly what's in it. That's why I marinate them; this time, I'm making drumsticks with lemon in the Dutch Oven.

Instructions
Drumsticks Dutch Oven
Make a marinade of lemon juice, olive oil, vermouth, garlic and rosemary. Stir well.

8 chicken drumsticks

Then add the stock and marinade.
2½ cups chicken stock
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Grill or BBQ (Optional)
Heat the barbecue. And grill the chicken on all sites until done.
NOTES
1. Vermouth - You can replace it with a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon blanc or white wine vinegar.2. Drumsticks - Use unflavored drumsticks.3. Chicken stock - The best is homemade chicken stock, but if you don't have it on hand, use a cube.4. Storage
Refrigerator (marinating) - You can let the drumsticks marinate overnight. You can also freeze the chicken along with the marinade. Let it thaw in the fridge, and you can start immediately (no extra marinade time needed).
Refrigerator (cooked, cooled quickly) - This will keep covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Freezer (cooked, cooled quickly) - Place the drumsticks in freezer bags or a freezer box. This way, they stay good for up to 2 months. Let them thaw in the refrigerator.
