Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons paprika
  • 8 chicken drumsticks skin on or off, as you prefer
  • Olive oil spray
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a rack on top if available.
  • In one bowl, mix the flour with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika.
    Flour, beaten eggs, and breading mix in white bowls for baking or frying.
  • Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels. Dip each drumstick in the flour, shaking off any extra, then in the egg, and finally press them into the breadcrumb mixture until they are evenly coated.
  • Place the coated drumsticks on the rack and lightly spray them with olive oil.
