Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a large resealable plastic bag or a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, parsley, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Shake or stir until evenly mixed.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with water to create an egg wash.
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks properly.
Dip each piece of chicken in the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.
Place the egg-coated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture one or two pieces at a time. Shake the bag or toss in the bowl until the chicken is evenly coated with the mixture.
Transfer the coated chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the pieces in a single layer with some space between them for even cooking.
Drizzle a small amount of oil over each piece for a crispier finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
