Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a large bowl or a zip-top bag, combine the buttermilk, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Place the coated chicken on the prepared wire rack.
Lightly spray the tops of the coated chicken pieces with olive oil spray to help achieve a crispy texture during baking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Turn the chicken halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
