Best Oven Baked Drummers


FAVORITE SO FAR. I'm serious. 
All of us loved this and agreed that we could maybe have eaten three of them. Jack loves drumsticks. I've never known how to cook them because each time I have them they are KFC style- or in buffalo wing form. So I found this great recipe and it is a new family favorite. Good with ANY vegetable.

  • 2lbs Raw chicken drumsticks
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ½ tbsp. salt

Chick-fil-A chicken!!


Can it be done? Yes, yes it can. And it's delicious.

Ingredients:

2-3 large organic chicken breasts (cubed)

PICKLE JUICE FROM A JAR.
(About 1 cup.)

1/2 C. Milk
1 egg, beaten

1/2 C. flour
1/2 C. Almond flour
1 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. Onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Avocado Oil for frying the chicken in.

Directions: 

Marinate your chicken  in the pickle juice in the fridge for at least 2 hours. When read to prepare, mix the wet ingredients (egg, cashew milk) in one bowl, and mix all the dry ingredients in another. Set bowls next to the stove so you can transfer chicken easily.

Drain chicken, then dip in the egg, then the flour and start frying. I fried on a medium heat, then transferred them to a rack to drip and cool.

Serve with sweet potato fries!!
