Prep Time: 30 min; Cook Time: 35-45 mins; Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter
• Juice of 2 to 3 lemons
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 24 whole chicken legs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line baking sheets with foil.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cayenne and garlic, and stir. Set aside.
3. With metal tongs, dip them one by one into the butter mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Once all of the chicken legs are coated and on the baking sheet, take a pastry brush and give them one last coating of the butter mixture.
5. Place them into the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, basting a couple of times during roasting. If they need a bit more color, turn on the broiler for a couple minutes and watch them closely.
6. Remove them when they are nice and golden brown and fully cooked.

• To save time on making this during the week, I have prepared the marinade the night before and put it in a gallon size freezer bag with the chicken. Let the chicken sit at room temp for a few minutes before placing on the baking sheet since the butter gets hard in the bag.
