A family-friendly baked dish: small chicken drumsticks are marinated with Orleans seasoning, soy sauce, cooking wine, and oyster sauce, then roasted with lemon slices. The author notes the citrus aroma pairs with the savory Orleans flavor, and that kids love it.

    Slice the lemon. Line a baking pan with parchment paper, arrange the marinated drumsticks on it, and lay the lemon slices on top. Roast in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C (about 400 degrees F) for 30 minutes, flipping the drumsticks halfway through.

    ✅ Done when: After 30 minutes the drumsticks are cooked through and browned, having been flipped once mid-roast.
