Baked Lemon Pepper Chicken Drumsticks
My family love these drumsticks.
This is something that I like to cook when I don't feel like cooking, as it only takes 5-10 minutes to prepare, it goes in the oven and lunch or dinner is done. Super easy, yet very tasty.
I find this great picnic food, as it keeps quite well, I can make it in the morning with little effort and my kids are happy.
If the drumsticks are large, cut 2-3 slashes almost to the bone with a sharp knife at the thickest part of the drumstick, this will allow the heat to get right through to the bone.
