Lemon and Garlic Chicken Drumsticks
Set the oven … but don’t forget it
A family favorite, even for the kids. Chicken, garlic, white wine and lemon. I use drumsticks for this recipe because they’re tender and flavorful. And since it’s baked in the oven, you don’t have that messy spattered oil you’d get from searing or frying in the pan. In just 30 minutes, you have a great main dish!
