Ingredients

1 lemon
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 chicken legs

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, grate the peel from 1/2 the lemon, squeeze out the juice (about 1/4 cup) and add to peel with the oregano, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Stir until mixed.
