    Baked Crispy Chicken Drumsticks. Crispy tender chicken with a slight kick made in the ease of an oven. Great for dinner with your favourite fixings.

    crispy baked chicken drumsticks

    I love fried chicken but if I can find a healthier alternative that yields a crispy chicken without having to use cups and cups of oil, I'm there!

    This baked crispy chicken recipe is a tad spicy but if my husband can tolerate this, anyone can. My recipe for crispy chicken is almost as crispy at Popeye's Chicken and the best part is you don't have to go out and buy it! You can make this dish from the comfort of your own home.

    crispy baked chicken drumsticks

    My baked crispy chicken drumsticks call for a specific ingredient to make it extra crunchy and that is Cornflake Crumbs. If you can't find this ingredients, you can use Cornflakes and just crush them up.

    I honestly think these are the the best crispy chicken drumsticks I've ever made and I'm so excited to share them with you!

    I also share other recipes for crispy chicken below so don't forget to check them out!
