Ingredients
  • 8 large chicken drumsticks, skin removed
  • MARINADE:
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp poultry seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Juice of ½ a lemon (approx 1½ Tbsp)
  • Cooking spray
  • COATING:
  • ⅔ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup crushed cornflake crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
Instructions
  1. Put drumsticks in a medium bowl and season with salt, paprika, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and pepper. Pour buttermilk and lemon juice over chicken, cover and refrigerate 6-8 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  2. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. For coating, combine panko, cornflake crumbs, Parmesan and seasonings in a shallow dish.

Put on prepared baking sheet, spray tops of chicken with cooking spray, and bake 40-45 minutes, until golden brown and chicken is cooked through.
