Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Legs
Crispy skin-on chicken drumsticks roasted with aromatic rosemary and bright lemon, served alongside tender charred asparagus for a vibrant and savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 large chicken drumsticks
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried rosemary
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 whole lemon
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin gets extra crispy during roasting.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Rub the herb oil mixture all over the chicken drumsticks and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Slice half of the lemon into thin rounds and tuck them around the chicken legs on the tray.
Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, then add the trimmed asparagus spears to the tray, tossing them lightly in the pan juices.
Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Serve the roasted chicken and asparagus over a bed of warm cooked quinoa, drizzled with any remaining pan juices.
