Put the chicken drumsticks in a resealable bag; add olive oil to coat. Add the ranch dressing mix, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Press out excess air, seal the bag, and shake to coat the drumsticks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Take the chicken out of the bag and discard the marinade.

Grill on the preheated grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a drumstick reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
