Crispy Parmesan Baked Drumsticks

Ingredients

6-8 chicken legs

1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese

1 ½ tsp garlic powder

1 ½ tsp dried parsley

1 ½ tsp paprika

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground black pepper

½ cup melted salted butter

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or use a baking sheet with a rack for crispier chicken).

Add the grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt and pepper to a bowl. Stir together.

In a separate medium sized bowl, melt the butter.

Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towel (this will allow butter to stick better). First, dip the chicken in the bowl of melted butter. Make sure to cover the whole chicken leg with butter.

Next, roll the chicken leg in the bowl of grated parmesan mixture or toss until evenly coated.

Place the chicken on a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until fully cooked.
