Author Notes
This is a super easy recipe that I like to make after work. I work at Yale, and after I finish lab at 5 PM, I'm tempted to order in, but then I look at the food in my fridge and spices in the cabinet, and I think: why not make my own food?...I generally hate following strict recipes, and I don't know about you, but I love adding ingredients to taste which makes my food unique and super flavorful....and super easy.
This recipe actually takes 35 minutes (prep and cooking time) and the result is fantastic (you won't order in again!) —Jenny J
Ingredients
-
4 pieces
Organic chicken drum-sticks (Large )
-
2 handfuls
Parsley

3 tablespoons
Freshly squeezed lemon

1 dash
Ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons
Sea salt

1/4 tablespoon
Citrus salt (Optional)

1 piece
Green pepper
-
4 pieces
Garlic
-
1 tablespoon
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 handful
Fresh kale
-
1 tablespoon
Ground thyme and sesame seeds (Zaatar)
Directions
-
Chop the kale and peppers finely, and place them along with the garlic on the side.
-
Season the chicken( I do this to taste, so please feel free to adjust!):
Pour the olive oil onto the chicken legs, rub them with the sea salt and pepper, sprinkle the parsley and the citrus salt.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 F!
-
On the stove, soften up the kale, peppers and garlic. Add lemon to taste! Also, I use "Pam" for fat free cooking!
-
Put the chicken with its seasonings into the oven.
-
Add more of whatever you like. I personally try the leftover seasoning on the cutting board and I adjust based on how I like it.
-
Cook the chicken drum sticks for around 30-40 minutes, checking them often until they have this nice browned color.
