Remove the chicken legs from the package and pat dry with a paper towel. Place drumsticks in a gallon size Ziploc bag.
Begin zesting both the lemons. You should end up with about ¼ cup of lemon zest. Place the zest in a bowl.
Juice both of the lemons into into the bowl with the zest. This will result in about ¼ cup of juice. Add olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder to the bowl and stir.
Pour the marinade over the drumsticks in the resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat the drumsticks. Place the sealed bag in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
After the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 400 F.
Line a sheet pan with tin foil and place a fitted wire baking rack on it. Place the drumsticks on the wire rack, alternating the direction they are facing and leaving at least 1 inch between each piece. You can bast the chicken with some of the leftover marinade if you see any dry spots.
Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Serve these drumsticks hot with your favorite side!
