Enjoy a healthier and flavorful twist on classic fried chicken with this crispy baked chicken recipe.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Lining the baking sheet with foil makes cleanup easier.
Place the butter on the prepared baking sheet and put it in the oven until melted.
Keep an eye on the butter to prevent it from browning.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
Using room temperature ingredients helps them mix more easily.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, paprika, salt, and baking powder.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth and even coating.
Dip each chicken drumstick first in the egg mixture, then coat it with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid a thick coating.
Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet with the melted butter, skin side down.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not touching for even cooking.
Bake the chicken for 30 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for another 30 minutes.
Flipping the chicken halfway through ensures even browning.
Serve the crispy baked chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving the chicken immediately ensures the coating remains crispy.
