Oven Fried Drumsticks
Report
These oven fried drumsticks can be coated in bread crumbs or panko, sure. But let's not forget crushed potato chips, cheese crackers, tortilla chips, crushed wasabi peas, saltines, corn flakes, or just about anything.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a shallow roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with oil or melted butter.
- Pat the chicken dry. If desired, remove the skin from the chicken by grasping the skin with a paper towel and yanking.
- Grab a fork or a whisk and lightly beat the egg in a shallow bowl.
- Place your desired Crazy Crunchy Coating in a resealable plastic food bag. If using anything that's not already smashed into smithereens, close the bag and gently crush the contents into fine crumbs with a rolling pin, the bottom of a heavy skillet, or even a wine bottle.
- Working with one or two drumsticks at a time, first dip them in the egg, then allow any excess to drop off before placing the drumsticks in the bag of Crazy Crunchy Coating. Shake to coat the chicken evenly.
- Place the drumsticks on the prepared pan and lightly coat the drumsticks with oil or melted butter. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve right away.
Notes
- Use your packaging--Save yourself an extra bag and crush your chips or crackers directly in their bag. Plop the chicken pieces in there and shake to coat.
- Reheating--These are best served immediately after making. The crust won't be as crispy if you reheat them, but for best results, if you have leftovers, reheat them in a 350°F oven until heated through.
- Dietary--This recipe is suitable for a dairy-free diet if made with oil and is also suitable for a gluten-free diet if made with a gluten-free coating, such as rice crackers.
