**Easy Chicken Drummie**
**Ingredients:**
– 12 chicken drumsticks
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 eggs, beaten
– Cooking spray
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly coat the rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
3. In another dish, beat the eggs until well combined. This will serve as your coating station for the drumsticks.
4. Dip each chicken drumstick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the drumstick thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.
5. Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking and crispiness.
6. Lightly spray the drumsticks with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden and crispy exterior during baking.
7. Bake the chicken drummies in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
8. Once done, remove the drummies from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful bite with every crunch.
9. Serve your Easy Chicken Drummies hot with your favorite dipping sauce, a side salad, or some creamy mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal. Your guests and family will be delighted by this irresistible and simple dish!
10. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy them as tasty leftovers or meal prep for the week ahead.
