Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl. Place flour in a second bowl and season with salt & pepper.
- Combine the breading mixture ingredients in a third bowl.
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Gently toss the drumsticks in the flour mixture. Remove and shake off any excess flour.
- Dip into the egg mixture. Finally roll the drumstick in the breading mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
- Generously spray the drumsticks with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet (you can put a rack on the baking sheet if you'd like).
- Optional: If time allows, refrigerate the chicken for 30 minutes before baking. This can help the coating stick better.
- Bake 45-50 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F and the coating is crispy.
Notes
- Dab the chicken dry before coating to help the crumbs stick.
- Ensure you remove excess flour and egg when dredging.
- Scoop a whole cup of cornflakes into a zippered bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor.
- Spray the coating very well with cooking spray so it gets nice and crispy. (I sometimes put a pat of butter on each drumstick too).
- If time allows, refrigerate the chicken for 30 minutes before baking (or lightly cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours). This helps the skin crisp.
- If you'd like, place the chicken on a rack before baking, this will help it to crisp all around.
- Once the chicken is cooked, broil for a minute or two for extra-crispy coating!
