These drumsticks are crispy with just the right amount of zing to get your mouth watering for more! They are super easy to make and are baked rather than fried so they save on fat but not on flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or assorted chicken parts can be used instead of all drumsticks. —Lynn Kaufman, Mount Morris, Illinois

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3 tablespoons lemon juice
16 chicken drumsticks (about 4 pounds)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. In a microwave, melt butter with lemon juice. Brush drumsticks with butter mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Place on greased racks in two 15x10x1-in. pans.
Bake until golden brown and a thermometer reads 170°-175°, 45-55 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.

Test Kitchen tips

This coating would be delicious on chicken wings. Substitute 4 pounds wing sections or wingettes for the drumsticks.

The drumsticks are great on their own, but if you'd like to serve with a dip or sauce, make raita, which is a simple combination of plain yogurt, chopped and seeded cucumber, cilantro and salt.
