Lemon Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Put the chicken legs in a large resealable bag, squeeze in the juice of the lemons and throw in the rinds as well. Add the olive oil, garlic and some salt and pepper, seal the bag and toss around. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet and roast until the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the chicken and pat dry.
• 2. Combine the lemon zest and juice, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or overnight.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 4. Arrange the drumsticks in a shallow roasting dish to fit (use two dishes to avoid crowding). Pour any marinade over the chicken and bake, basting occasionally, until the drumsticks are cooked through and golden brown, about 1 1/4 hours.
• 5. If the drumsticks have not browned enough, place them under the broiler, 4 inches from the heat source, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until browned, watching carefully.
• 6. Spoon the orzo or rice on a platter and arrange the drumsticks on top. Pour the chicken pan juices into a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until thickened. Pour over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Line shallow baking pan with foil; generously spray foil with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix garlic, cumin and lemon juice.
• Place chicken in large resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add in lemon juice mixture; shake to evenly coat chicken. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to marinate.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Place chicken in baking pan. If desired, cut 1 of the lemons into 8 wedges and place among chicken in pan for extra moisture and aroma during baking. Cover pan with foil.
• Bake 1 hour. If baking with skin on the chicken, remove foil after baking 1 hour and broil 2 to 5 minutes or until garlic or top of skin turns golden brown.
• Meanwhile, cut remaining 2 lemons into 8 slices each.
• Before serving, sprinkle chicken with parsley. Serve each chicken drumstick with 1 lemon slice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix chicken with paprika, half of the olive oil, half of the garlic, half of the salt, and half of the pepper together in a bowl until evenly coated. Toss potatoes with remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl; add lemon slices and toss well.
• Arrange chicken in a roasting pan and surround chicken with potatoes and lemon slices.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes; rotate and flip chicken and potatoes. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
