Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0 (for greasing) Olive oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 4
In another shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with milk until smooth.
Step 5
In a third shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Working one piece at a time, dredge each chicken drumstick in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 7
Dip the floured drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 8
Roll the drumstick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Step 9
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Step 10
Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the drumsticks over using tongs to ensure even cooking, then bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, oven-baked chicken!
