Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 1 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for a crispier finish, and lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and buttermilk until smooth.
Add the chicken pieces to the mustard marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
In a shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Remove each piece of chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere evenly.
Place the breaded chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack, ensuring they are spaced out to promote even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, crispy mustard oven-fried chicken!
