Ingredients

> 12 (about 3 lbs) chicken drumsticks
> 1/2 cup lemon pepper marinade
> 1 medium kirby cucumber
> 1/4 tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
> 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
> 2 tsp white wine vinegar
> 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
> 1 tbsp finely chopped mint
> 1 tbsp olive oil

Steps

1
In a gallon-size resealable bag, combine the chicken and marinade. Pressing out excess air, seal bag tightly. Toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
2
Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthwise. With a small spoon, scrape out seeds. Coarsely grate cucumber into a medium bowl and toss with the salt. Let stand 15 min.
3
With a clean towel or paper towels, squeeze excess liquid from cucumbers. Return to bowl and stir in the yogurt, vinegar, dill, mint, and oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Heat grill to medium. Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill. Cook 30–35 min., until cooked through, turning occasionally. Serve warm or at room temperature with cucumber-yogurt sauce for dipping.
