Crunchy crumbed rooster drumsticks

I’ve a delicate spot for rooster legs. Juicier and extra flavourful than lean rooster breast, and extra economical at that. With the bonus that there’s one thing additional gratifying about meals that needs to be eaten together with your fingers.

No one eats drumsticks with a fork and knife, do they?? Certainly not! Manner too civilised and manner an excessive amount of meat wastage. There’s no manner you may choose the bone clear of each scrap of meat with cutlery!!!

And yours might be as gorgeously golden as you see within the images so long as you’re beneficiant with the oil spray. Spray, spray, spray!

Components in crunchy crumbed rooster drumsticks

The seasoning

The important thing to this recipe is a daring flavoured seasoning so there’s loads of flavour in each chunk though we haven’t marinated the rooster. Right here’s what you want – all pantry staples!

The spiciness comes from the chilli / cayenne pepper and a very good quantity of black pepper. There are changes within the recipe to make this child pleasant by both utterly eliminating the spiciness or decreasing it.

The crumbing

And right here’s what you want for the crumb coating.

• Rooster drumsticks aka rooster legs. If yours have been frozen, thaw completely and pat dry additional effectively else you’ll find yourself with soggy patches.

• Egg and flour – the glue for the breadcrumbs. (PS I believed 2 eggs was sufficient however really, we want 3.)

How you can make crunchy crumbed drumsticks

Use the identical hand to coat the drumstick in egg, then enable the surplus to drip off. Nonetheless utilizing the identical hand, place the drumstick within the panko, then use your different hand to sprinkle with panko. Press to stick, rotate and coat throughout with panko. Place on rack. Marvel at clear(ish) fingers!!

4. Repeat with remaining drumsticks, lining them up so they’re evenly spaced.

5. Spray generously with canola or different oil. I like to make use of canola oil as a result of it comes out like a foam so I can see the place I’ve sprayed. (PS The extra you spray, the extra golden and crunchy the coating. So don’t maintain again!)

6. Bake for 25 minutes at 200°C/400°F (180°C fan). Flip drumsticks, spray once more, then bake for an extra 20 minutes or till gorgeously golden and crunchy. Allow them to cool for five minutes – which additionally offers the crumb an opportunity to “set” – then dive in!
