Oven-Fried Chicken Drumsticks

• ½ cup - all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ teaspoon - salt
• ½ Teaspoon - freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Teaspoon - paprika
• 1 Teaspoon - curry powder
• 2 Teaspoon - poultry seasoning
• ½ cup - butter
• 24  - chicken drumsticks

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. 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.
6. 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.
7. Arrange the chicken in the melted butter in the baking dishes.
8. Bake the drumsticks on middle rack of oven for 30 minutes.
9. 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.
10. Check to see that drumsticks are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
11. Serve the drumsticks immediately.
