6 Pcs Chicken Drumsticks (Legs)
2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
1 Lemon Zest
2 Teaspoons Lemon Pepper
½ Teaspoons Granulated Garlic
1 Lemon Juice
1½ Teaspoons Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper As Per Taste

Instructions

Combine the melted butter, the lemon zest, lemon pepper, and granulated garlic in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, add chicken drumsticks and lemon juice; toss to gratefully combine
Let them marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes if you have the time
Now preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the marinated drumsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Pat them dry with a paper towel. Add salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Place the drumsticks on the upper rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown color.
It is essential for them to attain an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as indicated by an instant read meat thermometer
When necessary, gently reposition the drumsticks to the center rack and broil for 2-3 minutes to attain a crisp finish
