"I'm hungry."
"I'm bored."
"Where are my gloves."
"Mom, my snow pants are too wet."
"Can you help me put on my boots."
Get the picture here? It's been a long snowbound week and we are going stir crazy. Can we please go back to school? When I told them last night we were out of school again, I didn't hear a peep. Is it possible that they are ready to go back? I think so. I know I'm ready.?
I will take anything this week to make my life easier, like these Easy Chicken Drumsticks with Lemon. Sometimes you just need a slam dunk dinner that no one will turn their nose up at. For me, this is it. You can marinate the drumsticks overnight for extra flavor but it's not necessary. They taste great the next day as leftovers so send some in your kid's lunches (that is if they ever go back to school.) This could easily become a meal that you make every week with ease. You are welcome.
The chicken marinates in a simple combination of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and herbs. If you want an extra crispy crust on top, pop into the broiler on low after it finishes baking. I didn't do it in this case because it got pretty brown in the oven.
I hope you took the time to enter my HUGE giveaway because we are announcing a winner soon. Don't worry I have a new giveaway coming up in a few days so stay tuned.
