   Squeeze the juice from half a lemon. This can be done manually or with a citrus juicer.

   Combine sour cream with lemon juice, crushed garlic, Provencal herbs. Add salt and ground black pepper. Mix everything well. The higher the fat content of sour cream, the thicker the marinade will turn out. I used 10% sour cream.

   Mix the chicken legs well so that they are evenly covered with sour cream. Massage them a little. Cover the bowl with a lid and leave the shins to marinate for 1 hour. During this time, mix the shins 1-2 times so that they are evenly soaked with sour cream from all sides.

   Put the shins in a baking dish along with the remaining marinade. You can use a ceramic mold or made of heat-resistant glass, or a small baking tray.

   Bake the chicken drumsticks in a preheated 180C oven for 30-35 minutes. The cooking time may be different, as it depends on the specifics of the oven. To check the dish for readiness, pierce one of the shins with a knife. If light juice is released, then the legs are ready.
