Ingredients
- ½ cup - all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons - salt
- ½ tsp - freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons - paprika
- 1 tsp - curry powder
- 2 teaspoons - poultry seasoning
- ½ cup - butter
- 24 - chicken drumsticks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Line two 9x13-inch baking pans with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Set aside.
- 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.
- Divide the butter between the prepared baking pans.
- 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.
- Serve the drumsticks immediately.
