lemon garlic drumettes
mashing the garlic with salt gives a smooth texture to the marinade and coats the chicken evenly.

- 1 tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. dried oregano

- add lemoin rind and juice, mustard, oregano and pepper; whisk to combine.
- add chicken; toss to coat.
- cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for 4 hours (make-ahead: refrigerate for up to 24 hours)
- reserving marinade, arrange chicken on rack on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.

- bake in 400F (200C) oven, turning once, until juices run clear when chicken is pierces, about 30 minutes
