  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken drumettes
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 orange
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the fresh herbs and mix well.
  4. Add the drumettes to the marinade and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  5. Arrange the marinated drumettes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. Optional: broil for an additional 3-4 minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). For a twist, use grapefruits or limes instead of the citrus fruits.
