This is the first time I am trying this recipe... I added Parmesan cheese and Old Bay seasoning also! It's half way done and doesn't look like it's going to need turned over. Baking and smelling good! Easy prep... now for the taste!

They are in the oven. Smells GREAT! I used chickpea flour instead of all-purpose. Just thinking, should I flip them over... Let me go check.

This turned out really well, the skin was nice and crispy. I added Cajun to give it a bit of kick. This was very flavorful.

 Tanya (Virginia) says:
As this is the first time I'm baking drumsticks, I know some recipes call to take the skin off of the drumstick. Did any one try it either way or did everyone leave the skin on? Thanks!

 Tom Murray (Michigan) says:
I have made a variation of this whenever I didn't have time to fry the chicken. But its also a lot healthier since you don't add the oil. Around our house, this is called "Faux Fried Chicken".

 Alicia (Texas) says:
I fixed this for my husband a few nights ago and we are already having it again! He asked me how I managed to fry chicken without a fryer! I told him that the recipe is just so good that the chicken tastes fried when it's not! I added chili flakes to it to add some zing and WOW, this is my new favorite recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it. :)
