Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 4
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure the breading adheres properly.
Step 5
Dip each drumstick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Roll each drumstick in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breading evenly over the surface.
Step 7
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 8
Spray the drumsticks lightly with olive oil spray to help them brown in the oven.
Step 9
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Allow the drumsticks to rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure they're juicy and delicious.
