Lemon Pepper Drumsticks and Cajun Rice

Lemon Pepper Drumsticks

Actually you can use any piece of chicken...but I like the leg and when they go on sale, I will buy a big package and do this. They remind me of the wings at D.D. Peckers :-)

Rinse chicken and leave the skin on.  Put in a bowl and drizzle some olive oil to coat pieces of chicken and let seasoning stick.  Sprinkle 1- 2 T of lemon pepper (or whatever seasoning you like).  Turn your oven to broil but leave your rack in the middle of your oven.  I put my cookie racks on a cookie sheet and lay the chicken out on that.  Monitor your chicken because you will have to turn it in about 15-20 minutes when it starts to looked grilled and skin is crispy.  Turn it until all sides look done and browned.

Cajun Rice

I love rice and you can mix it with just about anything to go with your meal.  No wonder it is a such a staple for the world! 

Cook 1 cup of rice.
In a skillet - melt 2 T butter.  Add 1 can of drained kidney beans, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped celery.  Add 2 tsp cajun seasoning.  Cook until veggies are tender and then stir in your cooked rice.  Season more as you like.  You can do this while your chicken is cooking and it should all be done together.
