Pierce the vitamin E capsule and combine with the garlic. Rub over the chicken skin, thoroughly covering all sides.
Combine the salt, pepper, oregano, and herbs de Provence in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken, thoroughly coating all sides of each piece.
Cover and let marinate for about 5 minutes.
Preheat the grill while the chicken is marinating.
Place drumsticks on the grill first, as they take slightly longer to cook. Grill for 5 minutes then add the thighs, skin side down, and grill for 5 minutes before turning. Turn chicken (drumsticks and thighs) and finish cooking to an internal temperature of 165°F, about 7 more minutes.
