6 whole chicken legs
1 (11 ounce) log goat cheese, sliced in 12 pieces
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, gently melted
onion powder, for sprinkling
3 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters
3 zucchini, cut in wedges (optional)
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
20 cloves of peeled garlic, minced (I buy peeled whole garlic cloves in a container.)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (juice from 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon dried marjoram or 1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
8 tablespoons fat-free low-sodium chicken broth

1
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Place oven rack in middle position.
2
In a large roasting pan, carefully loosen chicken skin on chicken legs all the way down to the drumstick bone without ripping skin. Evenly press a layer of 2 slices of goat cheese on top of thigh and drumstick. Position skin back in place with cheese underneath. Generously rub chicken skin with melted butter; reserve any remaining melted butter for white wine lemon mixture. Sprinkle onion powder on top of chicken legs.
3
Arrange potatoes and zucchini around chicken legs. Sprinkle finely chopped onion evenly over the potatoes and zucchini in the pan.
4
In another medium bowl, whisk together minced garlic and olive oil. Sprinkle olive oil with garlic evenly over the potatoes and zucchini in the pan.
5
In a medium bowl, whisk together white wine, lemon juice, and reserved melted butter; drizzle this over the potatoes and zucchini in the pan. Sprinkle marjoram or oregano over the potatoes and zucchini.
6
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the chicken legs, potatoes, and zucchini. Drizzle 2 tablespoons chicken broth into the 4 corners of the pan (do NOT drizzle on top of the chicken, potatoes, or zucchini).
7
Roast, uncovered, for 1 hour 20 minutes at 400F degrees. Serve chicken, potatoes, and zucchini with pan juices.
