Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks
Super easy dinner recipe that's inexpensive to make too...
Servings: 4 servings (8 drumsticks)
Ingredients
- 2 cups fine cornflake crumbs (alternately, you can use pretzel crumbs)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 8 chicken drumsticks (keep skin on)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Set the rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil and set a rack on top of the foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the crumbs, salt, garlic powder, paprika, baking powder and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter.
- Dip the drumsticks in butter and roll in the seasoned crumb mixture. Place on the rack. Spray lightly with oil or olive oil spray.
- Bake 25 minutes, then flip the drumsticks over and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and golden. Bake time will be dependent on how large your drumsticks are. Temperature of your chicken with an instant read thermometer should be 170℉. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest before serving.
