I keep seeing recipes for Lemon Chicken and I have to say it is a meal I have never had, but I love chicken and I love lemon so how could I go wrong? I searched multiple different recipes and landed on one from the blog ‘Annie Eats‘ because it sounded the least complicated and involved ingredients I had on hand, I only did some slight modifications from her recipe! It was pretty good and is a meal I would make again. I am already planning to use the left overs in some other recipes which should be pretty tasty!
Lemon Chicken: Serves 4-6
1/3-1/2C Fresh Lemon Juice
1TB Lemon Zest
1/2tsp Dried Thyme
1/2tsp Dried Rosemary
2-3 Garlic Cloves – Minced
Salt & Pepper
12-14 Chicken Legs or Thighs
Remove the skin from the chicken and place all of the ingredients in a gallon size zip lock bag and seal it tightly and turn over and over to get all the marinade evenly over the chicken. Put in the refrigerator for 1.5-2 hours, turning once halfway through. After the chicken is done marinating place on a greased wire rack on a cookie sheet and place in a 425° oven for 45-60 minutes, turning every 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5-10 minutes covered in foil, then serve and enjoy!

WW: ~5 points for 2 drumsticks. The size/type of your chicken will change your point values so be sure to weigh. Essentially the marinade is about 1 point total.
