Lemon Garlic Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in the melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; flip and sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder on second side. Cook each side for 2 minutes.
• Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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:

• Heat a large, heavy-based lidded casserole or frying pan over a moderate heat. Add the oil and half the butter. Generously season the drumsticks with salt and pepper. When the butter is foaming, drop in the drumsticks, and fry until lightly browned all over.
• Cover the casserole with a lid and leave the drumsticks to fry gently for 20-25 minutes, turning regularly. Remove the lid and add the remaining butter, along with the garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Take the casserole off the heat and leave the flavours to infuse for a few minutes before serving.
