Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 8 large chicken drumsticks
- Kosher salt
- Poultry seasoning or ground thyme
- 6 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
- 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 1 lemon, zested
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
- 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions or chives, to garnish
Directions
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in a large pan with a cover. When the butter foams, add the drumsticks and season with salt and poultry seasoning. Shake the pan and brown the chicken on all sides. Cover the pan and reduce the heat a bit. Cook for 20 minutes to cook through. Remove the drumsticks to a platter and add the remaining butter to the pan to melt. Add the garlic and pepper, stir for 2 minutes, and then add the lemon zest and juice. Swirl to combine and pour over the drumsticks. Garnish with parsley and scallions

This is nice and easy, but a couple of criticisms: the chicken could be cooked for a bit less time, mine were at a nice 165F after browning and about 14 minutes covered. Second, 6 cloves of garlic is way, way too much. One large or two small cloves should do it. I also deglazed the pan with a little white wine after I added the garlic and pepper.

Loved it! Even my son goes mmmmm what's your secret ingredient? I used limes for the juice because I didn't have lemons at the moment. And it still came out great! Very easy and quick.
