OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

This is the easiest and best way to make great baked chicken. Thoroughly pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then coat them with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. We like to add a little fresh chopped rosemary as well, but you can substitute fresh thyme or oregano. Bake the chicken on a wire rack on an aluminum-foil-lined sheet pan so that hot air can circulate, creating crispy skin on all sides of the chicken.

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

I wanted a basic way to cook drumsticks since they are cheaper than the breasts. I didn't want alot of spice or sauce on it so if you are looking that, this is not the recipe for you. We found it just right for us, the flavor of the chicken really comes through. I served with corn and twice baked potato casserole.

An easy Oven-Baked Drumsticks recipe

Categories     Bake     Fourth of July     Picnic     Super Bowl     Kid-Friendly     Lunch     Summer     Party     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon Hungarian sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter
9 tablespoons Dijon mustard
24 chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper in large bowl and stir to blend. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-low-heat. Remove saucepan from heat. Add mustard and whisk to blend. Brush drumsticks generously with butter mixture, then roll in breadcrumb mixture coating completely. Arrange drumsticks on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake drumsticks until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Pat the drumsticks dry before cooking: This will help the skin to crisp up and prevent the chicken from steaming.
  • Season the drumsticks generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil to help the seasonings stick.
  • Roast the drumsticks at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the drumsticks for 30-45 minutes, or until they are cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give oven-baked chicken drumsticks a try. You won't be disappointed!
