Description

Crispy, delicious Parmesan chicken leg drumsticks are baked in the oven until golden brown, ready to enjoy in just about an hour.

Ingredients

1 large egg
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
12 chicken drumsticks

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking dish with foil.
2 Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Mix Parmesan, pepper, and salt together in another shallow bowl. Dip each chicken drumstick in egg; lift up so excess egg drips back into the bowl. Roll in Parmesan mixture until well coated. Place into the prepared baking pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
