Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the 4 chicken legs dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Step 2
Slice 1 large lemon into thin rounds. In a baking dish, arrange the lemon slices and 1 cup cherry tomatoes, then place the chicken legs on top.
Step 3
Drizzle everything with 2 tbsp olive oil and roast for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (juices run clear when pierced).
Step 4
Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken.
