Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken drumsticks or wings
- 3 ounces Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks or wings dry using paper towels and set them aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. In a second shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a third bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and sesame seeds.
Step 4
Coat each piece of chicken by first dredging it in the seasoned flour mixture, then dipping it into the whisked eggs, and finally pressing it into the Panko-Parmesan-sesame mixture until well coated. Repeat for all pieces.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as is!
