Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken drumettes
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Bread crumbs (optional for extra crispiness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Pat the chicken drumettes dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and bread crumbs (if using). Set the mixture aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Brush each drumette with the melted garlic butter, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining butter for later.

Step 6

Coat each drumette generously with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.

Step 7

Arrange the coated drumettes on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced out evenly.

Step 8

Bake the drumettes at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once the drumettes are finished baking, drizzle the reserved garlic butter over the top for extra flavor.

Step 10

Sprinkle the drumettes with chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional) and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
