Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This will help the coating stick better.
Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured drumsticks into the egg mixture, making sure they are fully coated.
Roll the drumsticks in the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the drumsticks to the skillet, in batches if necessary, and fry them until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned drumsticks to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
