Stir It Up ... Oven Fried Drumsticks

Oven Fried Drumsticks

Ingredients:

¼ cup vegetable oil

½ cup all-purpose baking mix

1 Tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning (hint below)

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

10 chicken drumsticks

Step by step

Preheat oven to 450*. Pour the vegetable oil evenly over bottom of 15- x 10- x 1 inch baking pan.

Combine the baking mix, paprika, Creole seasoning, seasoned salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Pour into a paper bag.

Add the chicken drumsticks, a few at a time, to the bag and shake to coat. Arrange on the prepared baking pan.

Bake chicken, turning once, until juices run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.

Transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately.

Spice secret… Creole seasoning contains black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano and sometimes thyme and paprika, most of which are found in the other seasonings in this recipe.
If you prefer not to purchase a separate jar of Creole seasoning, slightly increase the amounts of the other seasonings.

This recipe I got off a Great American Home Baking card.

Enjoy!
