Recipe for Crispy Oven Fried Chicken Drumstick :
Ingredients:
For Marinade:
Chicken legs : 8 pieces
Vinegar : 1 tbsp (can substitute with lime juice)
Yogurt : 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
For Crumb Coating Mixture :
Red Chillies Powder : 1/2 tsp
Chicken Masala Powder : 1/2 tsp (can substitute with any curry powder)
All Purpose Flour : 1/2 cup
Rice flour : 2 tbsp
Baking powder : 2 pinches
Crushed Black Pepper : 1/2 tsp
Crushed Corn flakes : 3/4 cup
Panko Bread Crumbs : 3/4 cup
Salt to taste
For Egg Batter Mixture:
Eggs : 2 nos
Melted butter : 1 tbsp
Method of Preparation:
1. Wash chicken drumstick and pat dry.Pierce the thickest parts of the drumsticks with a fork.
2. Marinate drumsticks with yogurt,little salt & vinegar; cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 F, line a casserole dish or a baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly
grease it with oil.
4. Whisk the eggs and melted butter together and set it aside.
5. In a plate,combine all purpose flour,rice flour,baking powder,red chilli powder,chicken masala powder,black pepper powder,salt and keep it aside.
6. Crush corn flakes in gallon size freezer bag.Mix equal amount of bread crumbs and crushed corn flake and keep it aside.
7. Remove chicken from marinade, shake off the excess.
8. Now start dredging each drumstick in the flour-spice mixture,shake off the excess.(Note : Use one hand for the dry ingredients, and the other hand for the wet ingredients)
9. Dip into the egg and finally roll the drumstick into the cornflakes-breadcrumbs mixture; pressing crumbs in to make them adhere.(Note : Repeat rolling in cornflour-breadcrumbs mixture couple of times if you like a thicker coating).When all of the drumstick is finished with the coatings.
10. Arrange all chicken drumstick nicely on the prepared baking sheet/casserole.
11. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until brown and crispy.(Note :Depending on how thick the pieces are, I took it out after 40 minutes.)
12. Flip them half way through the cooking process.Remove chicken drumstick from oven.
13. Chicken juices should run clear when pieces are pierced deeply with a fork.
When finished, the chicken will have a crunchy outside and be moist and tender on the inside.
14. Enjoy with any kind of dipping sauce that you prefer.
Notes :
- You can also shallow-fry them in oil on a low flame till golden in colour.
- If you want to have these already cooked on hand in your freezer, they work! Cook, then cool in the fridge. When totally cooled, seal in gallon size freezer bag or in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days.When you want to serve them, pop into the oven and bake at 350 degrees F, for 30 minutes. The cornflakes-bread crumb will re-crisp.

Dear Sangeetha
When I saw the photo, I was bit confused, I was wondering " How come I clicked sangeetha's site but landed at KFC..sacred.. may be some virus etc..but soon I realized I was at the right place.
I am learning so many things,the coating is great and the baking instead of frying is very encouraging !!
Have a nice day
