Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken leg. 3. Place the chicken leg on a baking tray and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). 4. Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 5. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. 6. Once the rice is cooked, stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. Fluff with a fork. 7. Serve the roasted chicken leg over the lemon rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
