A devilishly-good seasoned dredge for your chicken drumsticks. Gift your 'secret' recipe to friends in decorated bags, and give instructions on how to bake the drumsticks. Ingredients:
olive oil, to coat bottom of pan |
8 chicken drumsticks, rinsed, patted dry |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons icing sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon chili powder (if you like food very spicy, up to 1 1/2 tsps) |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 3/4 teaspoon garlic granules |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 440°F (225C).
2. Pour enough olive oil into a foil-lined 9 X 13-inch baking pan to just coat bottom.
3. Mix flour, icing sugar, chili powder, salt, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cumin, ginger and ground pepper in a heavy-duty plastic bag; shake chicken pieces in the bag, a few at a time, until evenly coated. Give chicken a sharp rap against the side of bag when removing to shake off excess coating.
4. Place the drumsticks in the olive oil; bake 30 minutes. Turn drumsticks and bake 15 minutes more until pieces are fork-tender.
5. Enjoy!
