Ingredients:
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 3 cups cornflakes, crushed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.Prepare the Cornflake Coating:
Place the cornflakes in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer the crushed cornflakes to a shallow bowl.Mix the Seasonings:
In a separate shallow bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.Prepare the Egg Wash:
In another bowl, beat the eggs with water and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until well combined.Coat the Chicken Drumsticks:
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. First, dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, roll the drumstick in the crushed cornflakes, pressing gently to adhere the coating.Bake the Chicken:
Place the coated chicken drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the drumsticks to help them crisp up. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through.Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the chicken drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, lemon-kissed KFC-style chicken drumsticks with your favorite sides!
