Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil and the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Next, roll the drumsticks in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help it adhere to the chicken.
Step 7
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.
Step 10
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the drumsticks for garnish and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over before eating.
