Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Zest and juice the lemon. Add both the zest and juice to the herb mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the herb marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are well coated.
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the drumsticks reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes for a complete meal.
