A nostalgic dish featuring chicken drumettes marinated in citrus juices and fresh herbs, roasted to perfection for a tender, flavorful bite.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken drumettes
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together citrus juices, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place drumettes in a resealable bag or dish, pour the marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or preferably a few hours.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Arrange and roast: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the drumettes in a single layer, pour any remaining marinade over them.
  5. Roasting time: Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), flipping halfway.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Let the drumettes rest for a few minutes, sprinkle with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of roasting. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
