These drumsticks are crispy with just the right amount of zing to get your mouth watering for more! They are super easy to make and are baked rather than fried so they save on fat but not on flavor. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or assorted chicken parts can be used instead of all drumsticks. —Lynn Kaufman, Mount Morris, Illinois


Test Kitchen tips
  • This coating would be delicious on chicken wings. Substitute 4 pounds wing sections or wingettes for the drumsticks.
  • The drumsticks are great on their own, but if you'd like to serve with a dip or sauce, make raita, which is a simple combination of plain yogurt, chopped and seeded cucumber, cilantro and salt.
