Instructions

  1. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Place the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and coat them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  4. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the sheet pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor, not the stuff in a bottle.
  • Feel free to place a layer of aluminum foil on your baking sheet for easy cleanup. If you use aluminum foil, spray it with cooking spray.
  • You can use an instant-read thermometer or another meat thermometer to see if your thickest drumstick has reached 165 degrees F on the inside.
