Lemon & garlic-salt crusted chicken

(from largomason’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons salt flakes (I used 2tsp for 3 drumsticks)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt (I used 2tsp for 3 drumsticks)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used 1tsp for 3 drumsticks)
  • 1 large lemon, rind finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 large chicken drumsticks, skin on (I used 3 without skin)
  • 2/3 cup self-raising flour
  • olive oil cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Lightly grease a large roasting pan.

  2. Combine salt flakes, garlic salt, paprika and lemon rind in a bowl. Add oil and stir to combine. Place drumsticks in a large bowl. Spoon over oil mixture, rubbing in to coat chicken with your fingertips.

  3. Place flour in a large snap-lock bag. Add drumsticks, 1 at a time, and shake to coat. Place drumsticks in roasting pan. Spray both sides lightly with oil.

  4. Roast drumsticks for 20 minutes. Turn. Spray again with oil. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
