BAKED SESAME PARMESAN CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS (OR WINGS)



Baked Sesame Parmesan Chicken Drumsticks (Or Wings) image

This is another recipe from Toronto Star. The original recipe called for chicken wings and with the skin left on. We believe however after we made it with the skin on that it would be better with the skin off. You can do it either way and let me know what you prefer.The flavour of the parmesan comes thru very nicely.

BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS.



Baked Chicken Drumsticks. image

Something i came up with one night. Pretty easy to make, not much work required. Only time in the oven. It is also towards Russian dishes. You can also bake a whole chicken with mayo and adjika sauce. The only thing is time in the oven will be 45 min for each side of the chicken.

Provided by serenityfate

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 chicken drumsticks (usually there are between 10 to 16 legs in a packet)
1 pinch salt (to your taste)
1 pinch ground pepper (to your taste)
4 tablespoons hot sauce (Adjika sauce-russian gourmet hot sauce)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise (olive oil mayo)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees.
  • 2. Wash off the drumsticks. Do not take off the skin!
  • 3. Put all the drumsticks in a large bowl & add salt and pepper.
  • 5. The bottle of Adjika is usually about 8.8 oz. I use about half of that small jar. Mix the adjika with mayo. Really depends on your taste. Make sure every drumstick is rubbed with the sauce.
  • 5. Take out a dish which can fit all the drumsticks on there and line it with foil (or you can just rub down the dish with butter or spray with pam, so no foil is needed really) Place the drumsticks.
  • 6. Bake for about 15-20 mins on one side and then flip them to bake for the same time on the over side.
  • 7. If more time needed to cook leave them in for a little more.

BREADED AND BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS



BREADED AND BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 14

(makes 4-6 servings)
Ingredients
•1/2 cup flour
•1 tablespoon paprika
•2 teaspoons black pepper
•1 teaspoon salt
•2 eggs
•2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
•1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
•3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
•1/4 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
•1 tablespoon herb season blend (your choice. We like using a simple Italian Herb blend)
•6 chicken drumsticks
•Olive oil

Steps:

  • Directions 1.Preheat the oven to 425F. Coat the bottom of a roasting pan or baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil. 2.Mix together the paprika, flour, black pepper and salt in one bowl. In another, beat together the eggs, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and herb season blend. 3.Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then dredge in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Next, dip the drumsticks in the eggs, making sure they get coated before finally dredging in the bread crumbs, making sure they are nice and coated. Place the chicken immediately on the prepared baking sheets. 4.Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the juices run clear (not pink) when poked with a sharp knife. 5.Enjoy

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Drumsticks: Select plump and evenly sized drumsticks for consistent cooking and presentation.
  • Pat Dry the Drumsticks: Before seasoning or cooking, pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure even browning and crispy skin.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to create a flavorful coating on the drumsticks. Experiment with different seasonings to find your perfect blend.
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the drumsticks inside. This helps to ensure even cooking and prevents the chicken from steaming.
  • Roast the Drumsticks: Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Roast for the specified time, flipping them halfway through the cooking process for even browning.
  • Monitor the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the drumsticks. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Drumsticks Rest: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and moist chicken.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken drumsticks are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or appetizer. With a crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful seasonings, these drumsticks are sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Experiment with different marinades, rubs, and cooking methods to create unique and exciting variations of this classic dish. Whether you prefer a simple roasted chicken drumstick or one with a more complex flavor profile, there's a recipe out there to suit your taste.
