Step by Step Method

Step 1

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

Step 2

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.
