Seasoning “natural”: Season the drumsticks only with salt and pepper.
Seasoning with herbs: Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper and dried thyme.
Seasoning with lemon and herbs: Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper, thyme and lemon zest.
Seasoning BBQ: Season the drumsticks with salt, pepper, a little brown sugar, some curry and parpika.
Seasoning with garlic: Finely chop garlic and grate finely with salt, goes well with all the above ideas.
BBQ seasoning and curry can use a little sugar or stevia. Another tip: You can coat the drumsticks with a thin thread of honey towards the end of the cooking time.

Note on thighs or legs: The chicken legs are the upper part of the (whole) thighs. If you only get thighs, you can divide them at the joint. The preparation of the divided thighs is quicker.
The chive sauce in the picture consists of one part sour cream and one part crème fraîche, salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and chive rolls.
Note on the video: The video shows the simple preparation of the whole thighs.
