Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken drumettes
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- as needed olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken drumettes and buttermilk. Let them marinate for 10 minutes to tenderize the meat and help the coating stick.
In a separate shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Remove each drumette from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and dredge it in the flour mixture until fully coated. Dip it back into the buttermilk, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the drumette to ensure an even coating.
Place the coated drumettes onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to cook evenly.
Lightly spray the drumettes with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake the drumettes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like BBQ sauce or ranch dressing, and enjoy!
