Lemon Chicken




Chicken. I love chicken, and it is NOT because I am black (smile) but because it is a blank canvas for whatever seasoning you want to put on it!! Chicken is also cheap. Especially dark meat, which is my favorite!! I love thighs and drumsticks!! Here is one of many recipes I have for chicken drumsticks!! Enjoy!!

1 family pack of cleaned drumsticks
4 lemons (about one cup of freshed squeezed lemon juice)
1 1/2 sticks of butter
Seasoned salt (I would say about three good shakes in the butter mixture)
Pepper (fresh cracked pepper, three good turns of it in the butter mixture)


Shake seasoned salt and pepper all over the chicken (two shakes and two turns of each). Set aside.

Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat (dont burn the butter), add the lemon juice and seasoned salt and pepper, stir. Dip the chicken into the butter mixture and place on a greased cookie sheet lined with foil. Pour a little of the butter mixture over the drumsticks and bake at 375 degrees uncovered, for 1 hour. After 30 minutes of baking, turn the chicken and let both sides brown. After the hour if the chicken isn't brown enough, place under broiler until brown. Serve with lemon slices and enjoy!!

NOTE: You can baste the chicken with the butter mixture during baking, but you MOST boil the marinade for 5-10 minutes to kill the bacteria BEFORE BASTING!!!!
