Instructions
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano and salt and pepper in a large bowl or a large Ziploc bag and mix together.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry and place them into the marinade, massaging the marinade onto them, ensuring good coverage. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or seal the Ziploc bag) and refrigerate the drumsticks for 2 hours or overnight. Note: If you are doing this more last minute, try to marinate them for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400F.
Place the chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, discarding the leftover marinade. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes and then flip them over and cook them for another 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serve.
