Marinade time: 2 hours

DRIPPING with juice! My kids love this easy chicken recipe. I find that 12 drumsticks fit perfectly on a pan.

I like to make 2 batches at once so I double the recipe below but make them separately. This way they both turn out evenly since I marinate the chicken 6 pieces at a time in a gallon ziploc bag.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2.5 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium is fine; or gluten-free tamari)
  • 6-7 drumsticks

Directions

  1. 01

    Dump all the ingredients except the chicken in a bowl and whisk it up nicely.

  2. 02

    Put 6-7 drumsticks in a 1 gallon ziploc bag.

  3. 03

    Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag and remove excess air, then gently massage the marinade to cover the chicken.

  4. 04

    Put it in the fridge for a minimum of 20 minutes. 2-8 hours is preferable, flipping it about every 2 hours to marinate evenly. Don't marinate overnight; the marinade will become thick and chunky.

  5. 05

    Cover the bottom of your baking sheet with butter or non-stick foil. Cooking spray and oil will still make the chicken stick to the pan.

  6. 06

    Cook the chicken in the oven at 425°F for 30 minutes, then pull it out and flip the chicken. Put it back in for another 10-15 minutes or until the color is where you want it.
