Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the coating for the chicken drumsticks.
Dip each chicken drumstick into the flour, coating it evenly.
Dip each chicken drumstick into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the egg-coated chicken drumsticks in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat the chicken evenly and create a crispy coating.
Place the coated chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle or spray a little cooking oil over the coated drumsticks to help them brown and become crispy during baking.
Bake the chicken drumsticks in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 75°C (165°F).
Once the drumsticks are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your crispy crumbed chicken drumsticks as a quick, easy, and delicious main dish or appetizer! These drumsticks go well with your favorite dipping sauce and side dishes like a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
