Crispy oven-baked chicken drumsticks are a timeless household favourite, perfect all year round thanks to their versatility and reliably satisfying flavour. Ideal for a family lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends, they’re elevated by the bold, harmonious taste of Grana Padano PDO, which adds a savoury depth and an irresistible golden crust. The pairing of tender, juicy chicken with the cheese makes this dish beautifully balanced without being heavy. Here’s our recipe: oven-baked chicken drumsticks with Grana Padano PDO.
Ingredients
Chicken drumsticks, 8
Grana Padano PDO, finely grated, 80g
Breadcrumbs, 60g
Extra virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp
Garlic clove, 1g
Rosemary, 1 sprig
Fresh thyme, to taste
Sweet smoked paprika, 1 tbsp
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.
In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Grana Padano PDO, paprika, pepper, and finely chopped fresh herbs.
Rub the drumsticks all over with olive oil, salt, and a crushed garlic clove to season them evenly.
Coat each drumstick in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly so it adheres well across the entire surface.
Arrange on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure an even golden colour.
Remove from the oven once deeply golden and crisp. Leave to rest for a few minutes before serving.
