I ran across this recipe and thought it would be an interesting alternative to fried chicken for Zoey and I.
Breaded and Baked Chicken Drumsticks
makes 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon herb season blend (your choice. We like using a simple Italian Herb blend)
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- Olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Coat the bottom of a roasting pan or baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil.
- Mix together the paprika, flour, black pepper and salt in one bowl. In another, beat together the eggs, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.
- In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and herb season blend.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then dredge in the flour mixture, turning to coat.
- Dip the drumsticks in the eggs, making sure they get coated before finally dredging in the bread crumbs, making sure they are nice and coated.
- Place the chicken immediately on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the juices run clear (not pink) when poked with a sharp knife.
Enjoy!
