Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure the breading adheres properly.
Dip each drumstick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll each drumstick in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breading evenly over the surface.
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Spray the drumsticks lightly with olive oil spray to help them brown in the oven.
Bake the drumsticks in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Allow the drumsticks to rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure they're juicy and delicious.
