Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 3 cups corn flakes
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Lightly coat with cooking spray.

Step 2

Prepare the corn flake coating by placing the corn flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or your hands. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Coat each drumstick in the seasoned flour mixture, making sure to cover all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured drumstick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Roll the drumstick in the crushed corn flakes, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat the process for all drumsticks.

Step 8

Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each piece.

Step 9

Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the drumsticks to enhance the crispiness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy corn flake drumsticks with your favorite dipping sauce or sides!
