Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place a rack over a baking sheet lined with foil. Gently spray the rack with olive oil.
Use paper towels to pat the chicken drumsticks dry. Using three separate shallow bowls, place the flour mixed with dried oregano in one bowl, the whisked eggs in the second, and the panko breadcrumbs blended with dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third.
Start by dipping each drumstick in flour, then in egg, and then firmly press it into the breadcrumb mixture to ensure the crumbs adhere thoroughly.
Arrange the breaded drumsticks on the prepared rack. Spray them lightly with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
