Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Bisquick mix
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs (bone-in, skin-on preferred)
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 4 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a metal cooling rack on top to allow the chicken to cook evenly. Lightly grease the rack with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Pour milk into a shallow bowl for dipping the chicken. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to help the coating adhere better.
Dip each chicken piece into the milk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat the chicken generously in the Bisquick mixture, pressing slightly to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated chicken on a plate or tray and repeat with the remaining pieces.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish. Drizzle the melted butter over each piece of coated chicken to enhance crispiness and flavor.
Arrange the chicken pieces on the prepared cooling rack, keeping them spaced apart to allow for proper air circulation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If necessary, rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful chicken.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw, and enjoy!
