Place the chicken in a shallow bowl or pie plate and pour the buttermilk over top. Gently rub the buttermilk into the chicken until it is fully covered. Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Remove the chicken from the buttermilk. Dip each piece into the flour mixture and turn to coat well.

Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack and lightly spray each piece with olive oil cooking spray. Bake the chicken on middle rack of oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 40 minutes.

Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Serve with honey in a ramekin for dipping, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Buttermilk Brine Magic 🥛
Marinate chicken drumsticks in buttermilk for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to tenderize the meat and create a more flavorful, juicy result.
Crispy Coating Secret 🥣
Add baking powder to your flour mixture to help create an extra crispy, golden-brown exterior that mimics deep-fried texture without the excess oil.
Rack Positioning Technique 🍗
Use a wire rack on top of your baking sheet to allow air circulation, ensuring the chicken stays crispy on all sides and doesn't become soggy.
Spice Blend Customization 🌶️
Toast your dry spices briefly in a dry pan before mixing into the flour to intensify their flavors and create a more complex coating.
Honey Glaze Pro Tip 🍯
Brush a light layer of honey during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a beautiful caramelized finish and add a subtle sweetness to the chicken.
