Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 3

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in the mustard mixture. Toss to coat each piece evenly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat each drumstick thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating well.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken drumsticks on the prepared wire rack. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray to ensure a crispy finish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The chicken is done when the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes or dipping sauce.
