Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them finely using a box grater. Place the grated potato into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the grated potato, buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to create a thick batter.
Step 4
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Dip each drumstick into the potato batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, combine the flour and panko breadcrumbs. Dip the battered drumstick into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the batter.
Step 6
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are spaced out evenly. Drizzle the tops of the drumsticks with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
Step 7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes!
