I’ve a smooth 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 further pleasurable about meals that must be eaten along with your arms.

No person eats drumsticks with a fork and knife, do they?? Absolutely 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!!!

Substances 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 chew although 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 superb quantity of black pepper. There are changes within the recipe to make this child pleasant by both fully 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 further nicely else you’ll find yourself with soggy patches.

• Egg and flour – the glue for the breadcrumbs. (PS I assumed 2 eggs was sufficient however truly, we’d like 3.)

Methods to make crunchy crumbed drumsticks

Use the identical hand to coat the drumstick in egg, then permit 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) arms!!

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 additional 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!
