Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
  • 12 chicken drumsticks, skin on
  • 1⅓ cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼-½ tsp turmeric
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-2 tsp hot sauce, such as Frank’s
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • ½ cup margarine, melted (1 stick)

Instructions

Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Prepare the coating mixtures: Place flour and spices into a resealable bag. Using a fork, beat eggs in a medium bowl; stir in hot sauce and mustard.

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

Place drumsticks onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon melted margarine over each drumstick (it’s OK if it runs down the sides). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

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