Chicken Drumsticks In Aromatic Crust Food

NACHO CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl. Put the crushed chips in another large bowl and whisk the eggs in a third bowl. Toss the drumsticks in the flour. One at a time, dip each drumstick in the beaten egg and dredge in the crushed chips, turning to coat. Place on a baking sheet until ready to fry.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fill a large pot with 3 inches of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the drumsticks until golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. (Let the oil return to 350 degrees F between batches.)
• Arrange the drumsticks on a large ovenproof platter and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese melts, about 4 minutes. Top with salsa, guacamole and pickled jalapenos.

• Roll each drumstick into the crumb mixture, and carefully transfer each piece to the baking sheet. Do no discard the leftover crumbs.
• Lightly spray the drumsticks with the vegetable oil.
• Bake, loosely covered with aluminum foil for 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven. turn chicken over. and top each drumstick with some of the leftover crumb mixture. Spray once again, liberally with the vegetable oil.
• Return the baking sheet to the oven, this time uncovered for another 45 minutes.

CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS IN AROMATIC CRUST

Steps:

• Add rosemary, oregano, pepper, chili, olives and salt.
• Mix all together shortly with food processor (will crumb a little).
• In a shallow bowl, combine to dressing white wine vinegar and olive oil.
• Dip chicken into dressing, then coat with crumb mixture pressing on with fingertips.
• Place on prepared tray. Spray drumsticks with the remaining dressing.
• Bake for 10 Minutes (uncovered at 350 degrees), then sprinkle with water (heat and timing are basing it on convection oven).
• Continue to bake in the same way for another 35 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
• Serve hot with salad or vegetables.

BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl and pour in the oil. Season with lots of salt, then add all the remaining ingredients and toss well to coat.
• Put the drumsticks into a large roasting tin, along with any oil and spices from the bowl, ensuring there is plenty of space around each drumstick.
• Bake in the oven for 20 mins, then flip each drumstick and bake for a further 20-25 mins until cooked through and caramelised.

BBQ GLAZED CRISPY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375. If you have a convection oven, I highly recommend using that setting for this recipe. I have tested without a convection oven and while it did produce comparative results, the chicken was crispier when using convection.
• Rinse drumsticks and pat dry to ensure that you get as much moisture off of the surface of the chicken as possible. Place on a paper towel and set aside.
• Pour the cornstarch into a large Ziploc bag and close. Shake the bag to break up any lumps of cornstarch and to coat the inside of the bag. (I like to use the large freezer bags, but if you don't have any you can use sandwich bags and work in batches).
• Open the Ziploc bag and insert the drumsticks. Seal the bag again and try to leave a good amount of air in the bag. Give the bag a good shake to evenly coat the meat.
• In a medium size pan with high sides, heat the oil over medium-high heat until small wisps of smoke appear on the surface. (You want to make sure that the depth of your oil is about a 1/4 inch; so the amount of oil you use is subject to the size of your pan)
• Working in batches, fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the crust is just starting to brown. Transfer to a cooling rack placed over a paper towel to drain.
• Line a cookie sheet or baking pan with foil and place a cooling rack on top of the foil. You can use the same cooling rack that you used to drain the chicken. Place the chicken on the cooling rack.
• With a pastry or basting brush, paint the drumsticks with your favorite BBQ sauce. (I use a ketchup based sauce like Cattlemen's. I found it best to put a light coating of sauce on the meat to impart that hint of backyard BBQ without over powering the flavor of the chicken).
• Place the drumsticks in the pre-heated oven and bake/roast for about 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven and allow the drumsticks to sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.
