More About This Recipe

  • These crispy, crunchy oven-baked drumsticks are super easy and super delicious. I love it when you can spend 5 minutes throwing something together with just a few ingredients and enjoy a delicious outcome. These baked chicken drummies don’t get any easier, and they taste amazing! The drummies are first marinated in lemon juice that not only makes the chicken meat more tender and juicy (yes, please!); it also gives the chicken a nice zing of flavor (I like it!). Then they’re dipped in egg and rolled in Parmesan-seasoned panko breadcrumbs and baked in the oven to crispy perfection. That’s it – super easy but tons of flavor! And you can either use drumsticks or go with drummettes for a fun party appetizer.
