Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/4 lbs chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Gently loosen the skin from the chicken using your thumb. Grab the skin with a dry paper towel and pull it off.
  3. In a shallow basin, combine the flour and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the egg and milk briskly to break up the egg.
  5. In a large ziplock bag, combine the bread crumbs, salt, paprika, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, and pepper.
  6. Dredge the chicken in flour, followed by the egg mixture.
  7. Place the drumsticks in the zipper bag, seal it, and shake to coat the chicken.
  8. Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Turn the chicken in the dish to coat it with the butter.
  9. Bake the chicken for 25 minutes, then flip it over and bake for another 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through

Notes

  • Pat Dry: Ensure the drumsticks are thoroughly pat-dried before seasoning to promote crispiness during baking.
  • Even Coating: Coat the drumsticks evenly with your preferred seasoning or breading for consistent flavor and texture.
  • Use a Wire Rack: Place a wire rack on the baking sheet to elevate the drumsticks, allowing air circulation for an all-around crispiness.
