Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs chicken drumsticks (take the skin off)
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
2 eggs

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!

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



Simple Baked Chicken Drumsticks image

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.

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:

  • Use a flavorful breading: Combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for a crispy and flavorful coating.
  • Double dredge the chicken: Dredge the chicken in flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs twice to ensure a thick, even coating that won't fall off.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot for frying: This will allow you to fry the chicken in hot oil without overcrowding it, ensuring even cooking.
  • Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy: This will take about 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken drumsticks.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels before serving: This will help remove excess oil and make the chicken crispy.

Conclusion:

By following these simple tips, you can make delicious, crispy breaded chicken drumsticks that everyone will love. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw, for a complete meal.
