Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Lay chicken legs in a single layer in a large baking pan/dish. Rub chicken all over with the softened butter; sprinkle the lemon zest all over, along with pepper, parsley flakes and sea salt, to taste; squeeze the lemon juice over the top.
Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil; baste chicken with the pan juices. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Continue to cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and juices run perfectly clear.
Serve hot.
