Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the lemon juice, zest, olive oil, and minced garlic together in a large Zip-lock bag.

Add chicken and seal the bag, then mix until it's evenly coated. Place into the refrigerator to marinate for several hours.
Step 3
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 5
Heat a large OVEN PROOF pan that's been coated in cooking spray over medium high heat. (I use a large frying pan.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the bag, and place on a plate.
Step 7
Season both sides of the drumsticks with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Step 8
Add the chicken to the HOT pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 9
Flip the chicken over and place into the oven.
Step 10
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the juices are running clear. Serve with an extra squeeze of lemon, if desired.
