Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them finely using a box grater. Place the grated potato into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potato, buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to create a thick batter.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Dip each drumstick into the potato batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour and panko breadcrumbs. Dip the battered drumstick into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the batter.
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are spaced out evenly. Drizzle the tops of the drumsticks with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should read 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes!
