- Pat the drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dried parsley. Rub the olive oil and garlic butter all over each drumstick, then generously coat them with the spice mixture.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400 degrees. Place the drumsticks on the oiled grates and let them cook undisturbed for about 10-12 minutes. Flip each drumstick and cook for another 15-18 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange a generous bed of fresh lettuce leaves on the serving plate. Add the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion slices on top of the lettuce.
- Cook the French fries according to package directions. Season the hot fries with a light sprinkle of salt right after they come out of the oven.
- Place the fresh vegetable salad on the plate as the base. Add the crispy French fries to one side. Lean the grilled drumsticks against the fries, standing them up slightly for visual appeal. Place small bowls of creamy garlic sauce and ketchup on the side for dipping.

Notes
Pat drumsticks dry before seasoning for a better crust. Do not move chicken around on the grill too early, as this prevents proper browning. Let the drumsticks rest after grilling to keep them juicy. Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
