Time to drum up some love for Lemon Pepper Drummies; thankfully, they're delicious, so it won't take too much effort! These meaty, tender cuts of chicken are perfectly suited for carrying a lot of flavors, from the bright, sharp lemon to the spicy black pepper. These Lemon Pepper Drummies are also drizzled in butter, which is just the metaphorical cherry on top that will have your feet tapping to the flavor beat! They may march to the beat of their own drummer, but this dish is going to have you marching alongside!
