Introduction: Let's talk about these fucking crispy baked chicken drumsticks, shall we? I chose this recipe because I'm sick and tired of all the bland, soggy chicken out there. It's time to show these drumsticks who's boss and give them the crunchy, juicy treatment they fucking deserve.
Rant: You know what really grinds my goddamn gears? These pretentious food bloggers who act like they invented cooking. They blabber on about organic this and free-range that like they're fucking culinary geniuses. News flash, assholes, we're just cooking food here, not performing brain surgery. Get off your high horse and start making real damn food for real damn people.
Ingredients:
- 8 chicken drumsticks (don't even think about using boneless, skinless bullshit)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, I don't give a shit)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (none of that shaky can crap)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder (fresh garlic is for fancy-pants chefs)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, take your pick)
- Salt and pepper (like you know how much, figure it out)
- 2 eggs (beaten, just like your sorry ass should be)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin if you're feeling fancy)
Recipe:
- Preheat your fucking oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it like your life depends on it.
- In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix that shit up real good.
- In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs like they owe you money.
- Dip each chicken drumstick in the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure those drumsticks are covered in that crunchy goodness.
- Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Don't be stingy with the oil, we want these babies to crisp up nicely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Serve hot and watch these motherfuckers disappear.
Why the hell are you still reading this? Get off your lazy ass and start cooking these crispy baked chicken drumsticks! Your taste buds will thank you, you sorry excuse for a home cook.
