CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEGS DRUMSTICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place an oven safe rack on top. (I use this set, which includes the baking sheet and rack that fits perfectly.)
• Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels, which will help them get crispy. Arrange the chicken legs on the rack.
• Brush the chicken drumsticks with melted butter. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Bake the chicken legs in the oven for 25 minutes. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

CRISPY CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the garlic, vinegar, mustard, horseradish and rosemary into a food processor. Pulse the ingredients until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil to emulsify and season with salt and pepper. Put the chicken in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade into the bag and mix it into the chicken until well coated. Close the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the drumsticks from the fryer and arrange them on a sheet tray. Put them in the oven until cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and arrange them on a platter for serving.

CRISPY BAKED ROSEMARY-GARLIC CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put a sheet tray in the oven to preheat.
• Wash and trim the chicken legs of any excess fat. Mix the garlic, rosemary and panko together in a shallow rimmed dish and season well with salt and pepper. Alternately, crush the garlic and rosemary with some olive oil and salt in a mortar and pestle.
• Crack the eggs into a similar dish, add the milk and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another dish add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Take the chicken legs and 1 at a time, dredge in the flour, then the egg wash and then coat well with the rosemary-garlic panko bread crumbs. Lay the chicken legs out on a tray lined with parchment paper, as you work. Refrigerate the legs for about 15 to 20 minutes for the breading to set.
• Remove the hot sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil. Arrange the chicken legs carefully on the tray, spacing them out evenly (the chicken will sizzle when added to the hot oil). Roast until the chicken legs are golden and crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

EASY CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Mix cracker crumbs, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts into melted margarine and press into cracker mixture until coated. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

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.
