Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the mustard marinade. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese together.
Step 5
Take each marinated drumstick, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and roll it in the breadcrumb-cheese mixture until evenly coated. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat the process for all drumsticks, ensuring they’re spaced apart on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
