Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken drumettes
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Juice of 2 oranges
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
- Marinate the drumettes: Begin by placing your chicken drumettes in a large bowl. Pour in the juice of one lemon and two oranges along with the minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss everything together until the drumettes are well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

- Arrange on a baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the drumettes in a single layer, leaving space between them for even cooking.
- Roast the drumettes: Pop the baking sheet into the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Finish with broil: For an extra crispy finish, turn the broiler on for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye.
- Serve and enjoy: Let them rest for a few minutes and sprinkle with extra fresh herbs if desired.
