Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 cups Frozen shredded hash browns (thawed and patted dry)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- (as needed for greasing) Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or a thin coat of oil to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third shallow dish, place the thawed and dried shredded hash browns. Lightly season the hash browns with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and gently toss to distribute.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Working one piece at a time, coat each drumstick in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the drumstick into the hash browns, ensuring it is evenly coated with the potato shreds.
Place the coated drumsticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the drumsticks with cooking spray or drizzle a tiny amount of oil over the coating to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, tater-dipped oven-fried chicken!
