Chicken Drumsticks in Oven
Description
Chicken drumsticks are coated in a mixture of Bisquick, paprika, salt, and black pepper that creates a flavorful, slightly crispy crust when baked. The drumsticks are arranged in a baking dish with melted butter, which helps keep them moist and develops a golden-brown finish. A second butter coating during cooking enhances richness.
Baking begins at 425°F with an initial 30 minutes, followed by flipping and baking for another 15 to 25 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the coating is crisp. The cooking method balances a crispy exterior with juicy chicken inside.
Leftover drumsticks should be refrigerated promptly and discarded if left at room temperature beyond two hours. For freezing, wrap or store in airtight containers for several months. Reheating in a 325°F oven restores crispness and warmth.
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup Bisquick Mix
- 1½ teaspoons paprika
- 1¼ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 pounds chicken drumsticks chicken legs
- butter spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Melt 2-3 tablespoons butter in a 9x13 baking dish in the oven.
- While butter is melting, stir ¾ cup Bisquick, 1½ teaspoons paprika, 1¼ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Coat each chicken drumstick and place in the baking dish with melted butter.
- Coat with butter before baking and once during baking.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flip, and bake an additional 15-25 minutes. ENJOY!!
Notes
- Discard cooked chicken left at room temperature longer than two hours to prevent foodborne illness.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
- Freeze chicken in airtight packaging for 4-6 months to maintain quality.
- Reheat in a preheated 325°F oven, lightly brushed with olive oil, for about 25 minutes uncovered to restore crispness.
