Crispy, juicy, and tender, this all-American classic is baked to perfection.

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

1. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Place flour and spices into a resealable bag. Using a fork, beat eggs in a medium bowl; stir in hot sauce and mustard.

3. Place drumsticks into bag of flour mixture; shake to coat chicken. Dip each drumstick into egg mixture, then shake in flour mixture again.

4. Place drumsticks onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle one tablespoon melted margarine over each drumstick (it’s okay if it runs down the sides). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Bake chicken on center rack for 45–50 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork.

Can I use cutlets instead of on the bone?

Sure, you may just have to adjust the cooking time.

I’m so excited to make this- do you think it would be good to serve on shabbos day?

Yes, I would just let it crisp up on the hot plate for a few hours before the meal.

Yes, however, they do tend to cook faster so I would put them in for less time so they don’t dry out or burn.

Skinless? How will this recipe come out if I skin the chickens?

I think it should be fine, it just might not get as crispy.

Goodness without the guilt This turned out to be excellent. I have made it a few times already & would definitely make it again, but I wonder if I could use an air fryer instead of an oven.
