1-First, whisk together 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning in a large bowl.

2-Add the 3 pounds of chicken drumsticks and make sure they’re fully covered in the marinade for the best taste.

3-Once mixed, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours to let the flavors soak in.

4-Marinate in an airtight container for safety and to deepen the taste.

5-Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and spray or lightly oil a sheet pan to avoid sticking.

6-Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the prepared pan for even cooking.

7-Bake for 40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, with golden brown and crisp skin; flipping halfway is optional for extra crispiness.

8-Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe eating.

9-Optionally, sprinkle 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh touch.
