These oven-fried chicken drumsticks have a satisfyingly crunchy texture. We loved the flavor results when we used 1/2 tsp. red pepper. Use 1/4 tsp. for kids.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; seal and shake well to combine.
Step 2
Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. Dip 2 drumsticks in buttermilk, and place in bag. Seal and shake well, coating drumsticks completely. Place drumsticks on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining drumsticks. Sprinkle remaining cornflake mixture evenly over drumsticks on baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 3
Bake at 425° for 25 to 30 minutes or until drumsticks are well browned and done. Serve immediately.

I actually made this before I saw your recipe. I did a few things differently: I soaked the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours, left the skin on and drizzled some melted butter over the crumbed chicken. One tip for a crunchy underside is to heat your baking pan for a few minutes-6-7 before placing chicken on the pan. Spray the pan after preheating it. You can hear the chicken start to sizzle. This makes an excellent oven fried chicken with crispy, crunchy coating.

The best! This chicken melted in my mouth and I will be making this again! Recipe was simple. My 11-year old made the batter, and only 20-30 minutes in the oven.

This recipe was very easy to make. The whole family enjoyed it. I'm not sure it was good enough to crave again.
