Crispy Parmesan Drumsticks
Alright, folks, gather around because I'm about to reveal the secret to making the most mouth-watering, finger-licking good Crispy Parmesan Drumsticks that you can whip up faster than you can say "I'm hungry." Now, I know we all have our personal favorite drumstick flavors. Some of you might be into that classic BBQ, while others might swear by a good ol' spicy rub, but let me tell you, once you go crispy garlic parm, you might just never go back. And the best part? You probably have all these ingredients lying around in your kitchen, so no need to make a panicked trip to the store.
So here's the deal - we're talking about starting with 4 chicken drumsticks. Why 4? Because that's a good number, and honestly, if you're cooking for more, just do some quick math and increase everything else accordingly. You'll need half a stick of butter (because butter makes everything better), a cup of grated Parmesan (the star of the show), and a tablespoon each of garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes for that kick. Don't forget your salt & pepper, and a little parsley for that green garnish because we're fancy like that.
Now, let's get down to business. First things first, crank your oven up to a toasty 420 degrees because we're not here to play games. Grab two bowls - in one, melt that glorious butter, and in the other, mix the Parmesan with garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Next, take those drumsticks, give them a nice little spa rinse under water, and pat them dry like you're tucking them into bed with a paper towel. Dip each drumstick into the melted butter, get it all nice and cozy, then roll it in the Parmesan mixture like you're making it the best-dressed chicken at the ball. Pop them onto a baking sheet lined with the fanciest tin foil and non-stick spray you've got, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Want them extra crispy? Give them a 3-minute broil at the end. And there you have it, folks - Crispy Parmesan Drumsticks that'll make you wonder why you ever ate chicken any other way. Enjoy, and you're welcome.
