Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the middle of your oven.
- In an oven dish (I use a glass pie plate for sticking purposes) place the oil and allow it to coat the entire bottom.
- If you have not already done so, remove the skin from the drumsticks. If you find it difficult to pull the skin off the chicken, use a paper-towel to grip the skin to pull it off.
- On one plate, crack both eggs and whisk them into one uniformed egg wash.
- On a second plate, place the two cups of breadcrumbs; spread them out evenly.
- Begin by rolling one piece of chicken in the egg mixture. Make sure the chicken is covered completely and evenly.
- Take the chicken and roll it in the breadcrumbs. With drumsticks, I find it beneficial to dip the top of the drumstick chicken into the mixture as well as drizzle breadcrumbs in the area of the chicken near the bone since those two areas often do not touch the breadcrumb plate.
- Place chicken into dish, meaty side down.
- Repeat coating process for all the chicken.
- Place dish in oven and allow to cook for about 45 minutes. Rotate each piece of chicken at this point to allow it crisp throughout.
- About 50 minutes to an hour in, the chicken will appear to fall off the bone. The chicken should be done at this point but make sure to check it with a meat thermometer to confirm. In the meaty section of the chicken (should be up at this point) the temperature should reach at least 165 degrees F.
- Chicken's done!
CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS
Ideal for kids. Tasty for everyone. The crispy comes from crushed potato chips coating the drumsticks, and the taste from a slow bake in the oven.

BREADED CURRY CHICKEN DRUMMIES
These drumsticks are crispy with just the right amount of zing to get your mouth watering for more! They are super easy to make and are baked rather than fried so they save on fat but not on flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or assorted chicken parts can be used instead of all drumsticks. -Lynn Kaufman, Mount Morris, Illinois

Tips:
- To ensure crispy chicken, make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the breadcrumb mixture and that the oil is hot enough before frying.
- For a healthier version, bake the chicken drumsticks instead of frying them. You can also use whole wheat breadcrumbs or almond flour instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
