Crispy Baked Drumsticks

Ingredients

  • :
  • 1 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 10 tsp canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds total), skin removed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 475°. Coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set it on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Mix breadcrumbs, paprika, onion powder, and salt in a shallow dish. Drizzle with oil and mash with a fork until the oil is thoroughly incorporated. Lightly beat egg with a fork in another shallow dish. Dip the drumsticks into the egg, then press into the breading mixture until evenly coated on both sides. (Discard any remaining mixture and/or egg.)

Place the chicken on the prepared rack. Bake the chicken until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a drumstick without touching bone registers 165°F, 30 to 40 minutes.
