What an exceptional recipe! I made this last night for the BF and I, and it was like a gourmet dinner at a restaurant! I used a red bell pepper instead of green, and added an extra lemon because was too lazy to get the zest, used 2 tsps of oregano, and instead of lemon pepper used black pepper. YUMMY! I only wished I would have added more bell peppers because we love our veggies. Served this with steamed veggies and Jasmine rice. Excellent. Thanks for posting. -
Absolutely delicious and oh so easy to put together, I did 6 drumsticks for 3 of us though did the full recipe as written - the only point I was not sure of was the oregano/zest mix which I sprinkled on both sides of the drumsticks before spraying with the olive oil. Thank you PaulaG for a delicious recipe, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #81 October 2013. -
Very good! Next time I will add more peppers and sauce. Yum! -
This was so good I only wish I had made more! I did use Recipe #81283 instead of the oregano & lemon pepper, but did add the lemon zest. I love lemony flavors & this was wonderful! Thank you for sharing a recipe I will use again. Made for ZWT4. -
This was not great! Luckily, I was able to salvage the chicken for salad the next day.

No stars now since I didn't do this exact to the recipe and I just put it in the oven. ;O) I skipped the green bell pepper and added a little honey instead... 1 small onion sliced big... pre minced garlic... lemon juice in the bottle... skipped oregano... used pepper and salt instead of lemon pepper. I really wanted to try this but as I was making it I didn't have the ingredients. Well I hope it still turns out nummy! -

This was a delicous combination of flavors, and my family ate it all up for dinner tonight. I used skinless boneless chicken breasts, red bell pepper instead of green, and instead of lemon pepper I just added a bit more lemon zest and lots of cracked black pepper. Yum! Thanks, PaulaG!

This was a great meal. I followed the recipe, using red pepper instead of green & adding 3 small potatoes, sliced into thin wedges, to make a one dish meal. Lovely flavours that I'm looking forward to having for lunch tomorrow. Thanks Paula for another keeper. Made for ZWT4

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
