• rinse chicken drumsticks, thighs, and wings with cold water, and place into a bowl. pour in lemon juice and vinegar; mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until the chicken parts are thoroughly coated with the spice paste. allow to stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
• preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• grill the chicken pieces on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and the spice-coated skin is blistered, well-browned, and blackened in spots, about 10 minutes per side. an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read at least 160 degrees f (70 degrees c).
