Breaded And Baked Chicken Drumsticks Recipes

SWEET ORANGE CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Add the onion, orange juice, ketchup, orange marmalade, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon, five-spice, paprika, black pepper and garlic to a large resealable plastic bag. Close the bag and shake to incorporate. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag. Reseal and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. (Chicken can be prepped the day before and refrigerated overnight.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour the entire contents of the bag onto a foil-lined sheet tray. Bake, turning the drumsticks halfway through baking, until the chicken is cooked through, the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of meat (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes.
• Remove to a platter and let rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

BAKED CAJUN CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place chicken in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Drizzle vegetable oil over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the oil into the chicken.
• Combine paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, thyme, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix until evenly combined. Pour spice mixture into the bag with the chicken. Seal the bag and toss to coat.
• Transfer drumsticks to the prepared baking sheet, discarding the plastic bag.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• For extra crispy skin, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Broil chicken for 5 minutes.

BREADED CURRY CHICKEN DRUMMIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. In a microwave, melt butter with lemon juice. Brush drumsticks with butter mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Place on greased racks in two 15x10x1-in. pans., Bake until golden brown and a thermometer reads 170°-175°, 45-55 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.

SIMPLE BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Put some olive oil in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (just enough to put the drumsticks on).
• Add drumsticks (space enough apart so they aren't touching each other).
• Sprinkle generously with pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Add rosemary to the chicken, if desired.
• Bake at 375° F for half an hour. Turn drumsticks over and add more garlic powder, pepper and salt (same as before). Top with the parsley.
• Bake another half an hour, or until cooked until 160°F.

EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.

SIMPLE BREADED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the middle of your oven.
• In an oven dish (I use a glass pie plate for sticking purposes) place the oil and allow it to coat the entire bottom.
• If you have not already done so, remove the skin from the drumsticks. If you find it difficult to pull the skin off the chicken, use a paper-towel to grip the skin to pull it off.
• On one plate, crack both eggs and whisk them into one uniformed egg wash.
• On a second plate, place the two cups of breadcrumbs; spread them out evenly.
• Begin by rolling one piece of chicken in the egg mixture. Make sure the chicken is covered completely and evenly.
• Take the chicken and roll it in the breadcrumbs. With drumsticks, I find it beneficial to dip the top of the drumstick chicken into the mixture as well as drizzle breadcrumbs in the area of the chicken near the bone since those two areas often do not touch the breadcrumb plate.
• Place chicken into dish, meaty side down.
• Repeat coating process for all the chicken.
• Place dish in oven and allow to cook for about 45 minutes. Rotate each piece of chicken at this point to allow it crisp throughout.
• About 50 minutes to an hour in, the chicken will appear to fall off the bone. The chicken should be done at this point but make sure to check it with a meat thermometer to confirm. In the meaty section of the chicken (should be up at this point) the temperature should reach at least 165 degrees F.
• Chicken's done!
