Ingredients

• 12 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse the chicken drumsticks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the almond milk until well combined.

Step 5

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 6

Coat each chicken drumstick with the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.

Step 8

Roll the drumstick in the breadcrumbs until they are fully covered.

Step 9

Lightly grease a baking sheet with half of the olive oil. Place the breaded drumsticks on the baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the drumsticks to ensure even browning.

Step 11

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
