Рецепт Oven Fried Buttery Chicken Legs
Wondering how to bake chicken legs? I’ve got you covered with this easy baked drumsticks recipe.
My children, man. It’s like they live for pushing my buttons.
They both love fried chicken. Just not from restaurants. Only from home.
I mean, I can relate. Fried chicken from home is pretty much always better than fried chicken from a drive through joint. But, have you guys ever fried chicken at home? It’s messy and it takes for.ev.er.
So, I keep the kids happy with my oven baked fried chicken. It’s easy to the max. This is basically just a riff on my oven baked chicken strips recipe that you guys all love like crazy.

These oven fried drumsticks are about as simple as it gets. I coat the chicken legs in mayonnaise. Weird? I don’t think so. Remember my baked ranch chicken? The one with the cheese? Yeah. It’s super popular and gets rave reviews…and it’s also coated in mayo.
So, you coat your drumsticks in mayo and then toss them in some finely ground butter crackers. I use my food processor to crush the crackers, but a blender would work as well. From there you just coat your chicken by shaking it all up in a bag and then place it on a hot, buttered cast iron skillet or cookie sheet.
This baked chicken recipe is done in about 40 minutes, making it perfect for a busy night. Hope your kids enjoy this drumsticks recipe as much as mine do!
