Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the mustard marinade. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese together.
Take each marinated drumstick, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and roll it in the breadcrumb-cheese mixture until evenly coated. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for all drumsticks, ensuring they’re spaced apart on the baking sheet for even cooking.
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
