    Baked Breaded Chicken Drumsticks

    Baked Breaded Chicken Drumsticks
    A simple and tasty dinner idea is ready for you about as quickly as you can marinate some drumsticks! Full of flavor, these baked chicken drumsticks are very tender and juicy, but crunchy on the outside. A big hit in a house full of kids! Which is one reason why it’s helpful to prep something like this the night before and cook it up the next day. Especially with these busy last few days of the end of the school year. In scrambling to meet deadlines and final exams, they work up quite an appetite. A hearty meal of breaded chicken paired with some pasta or mashed potatoes, complete with basically any salad, hits the spot. Any leftovers are great for packing a lunch box too. This is a great comfort food. Enjoy!

    Ingredients:
    6 – 8 lbs. (3-4 kg) – chicken drumsticks
    Baked Breaded Chicken Drumsticks
    1 tbsp. (15 ml) – Mrs. Dash seasoning
    ½ tbsp. (7.5ml) – garlic salt
    1 tsp. (5 ml) – sea salt
    ¼ tsp. (1.25 ml) – black ground pepper
    3 cups (250 g) – Italian bread crumbs
    Baked Breaded Chicken Drumsticks
    Instructions:
    1. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Remove the skins (optional, but we don’t like it). Soak drumsticks for a couple of hours (changing the water every 30 min), rinse them and place into a strainer to drain excess water.

    2. Place drumsticks into a large glass bowl with a lid to close tightly (or gallon Ziploc bag). Measure out seasonings, mix together and sprinkle them over the drumsticks. Mix together until all drumsticks are coated with seasoning. Close the bowl with a lid. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hrs.

      Valya, did you actually done with mayo? I was thinking if you add mayo it will be more wet rather then dry. Or this chicken is not going to be dry after all? I love your recepies!!! you are so maladets!!

        I add mayo to chicken breast, because the meat it self is on the dry side, see recipe - https://www.valyastasteofhome.com/crusted-parmesan-chicken-breasts, but mayonnaise is not necessary for chicken drumsticks, they already turn out pretty juicy. Its totally OK to add mayo if you wish to. You will need more bread crumbs if you add mayo. I hope this helps.
