Description
Bone-in chicken drumsticks are coated in an everything bagel and flour mixture, then baked in butter until golden and crisp.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 skin-on bone-in chicken drumsticks
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
- Cooking spray or extra butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and set it aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl until smooth.
- Add the flour, everything bagel seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake well to combine the dry ingredients.
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.
- Dip one chicken drumstick into the beaten eggs. Let the excess egg drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chicken into the bag with the flour mixture. Seal and shake to coat evenly. Repeat the egg and flour coating process a second time for a thicker crust. Set the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- Repeat the dipping and coating steps for the remaining chicken drumsticks.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken in the baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. The chicken is safe to eat when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
Notes
- Food safety: Always use a meat thermometer to check that poultry reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If the flour coating starts to brown too quickly during the second half of baking, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Let the chicken rest on a wire rack for 5 minutes after the first flour coating. This helps the breading hydrate and stick better before the second dip.
