Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
Drizzle the chicken drumsticks with olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Toss the chicken until evenly coated.
In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese together.
Roll each drumstick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared wire rack, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Delicious Drumsticks with your favorite side dishes!
