Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

|
Line two 9x13-inch baking pans with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
3
|
In a gallon-sized zip-top plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, curry powder, and poultry seasoning. Seal the bag and toss the ingredients lightly to combine.
4
|
Divide the butter between the prepared baking pans.
5
|
Place the baking pans in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter.

Working with 3-4 drumsticks at a time, place them in the seasoned flour mixture, seal the bag, and toss to fully coat the chicken in the flour.

Arrange the chicken in the melted butter in the baking dishes.

Bake the drumsticks on middle rack of oven for 30 minutes.

Using tongs, turn each drumstick over. Continue baking until the meat begins to shrink from the bone and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, about 20 minutes.

Check to see that drumsticks are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Buttermilk Brine Magic 💦Marinate chicken drumsticks in buttermilk for 4-8 hours before cooking to tenderize the meat and create an incredibly juicy interior.
- Coating Crispiness Hack 🥣Double-dredge the drumsticks by first coating in seasoned flour, then dipping in beaten egg, and coating again for an extra-crispy exterior.
- Rack Elevation Technique 🍗Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow hot air circulation, ensuring the chicken skin becomes uniformly crisp on all sides.
- Spice Blend Mastery 🌶️Toast your dry spices like curry powder and paprika in a dry skillet for 30-60 seconds before mixing into the flour to intensify their flavor profile.
- Butter Basting Trick 🧈Brush melted butter on the drumsticks halfway through baking to enhance golden browning and add a rich, luxurious flavor.
