Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs

I am trying to add more and more meat to our diets and less carbs. This is a simple meal we have all enjoyed.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs

10-12 thighs, skin on

1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
the juice and zest of 1 lemon

Combine all ingredients but chicken. Rub chicken generously with spice mixture. Lay chicken in a baking dish. Add any leftover spiced butter to top of chicken. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until done. Thicken resulting broth, if desired, for a sauce.
