Lemon Garlic Baked Drumsticks
The only time we really think about eating chicken drumsticks is when we roast a whole chicken. We forget to cook them on their own sometimes, but with this simple baked recipe we'll soon be cooking them all the time. After a quick marinade, these drumsticks bake in the oven in no time and stay extremely tender and juicy. The high heat helps the skin get nice and crispy for a perfectly baked drumstick!

Cheesy Chicken Tacos
We like using rotisserie chicken for this recipe because (sometimes) we're lazy. If you have the time, these would also be killer with grilled chicken breast — just swap lime juice for the balsamic and oregano for the rosemary and thyme.
