Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumettes, skin on
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 slices sandwich sourdough bread, crusts trimmed, torn into pieces
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 2 scallions, green and white part, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup honey mustard
- Hot sauce, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F or a convection oven to 425 degrees F.
- Stand a drumette on its wide end and, holding the narrow bone at the top, use a paring knife to push and scrape the skin and meat downward to expose the bone and make a plump “lollipop” of chicken at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining drumettes. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse bread crumbs, (about 12 times). Add the garlic, parsley, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, to taste, and continue to pulse until finely chopped but not a paste. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and toss with melted butter.
- Brush each drumette with some honey mustard. Then press and roll each one in the bread crumbs to coat. Arrange the drumettes (standing up if you can) on a rack set over a baking sheet. Roast until chicken is cooked and the bread crumbs are golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve drumettes hot or at room temperature with hot sauce, if desired.

Reviews
Made for a party and they were a hit!
Loved the taste and the look, although I used Panko bread crumbs instead of the bread.
couldn’t find drumettes, but i did end up with drumstick. made the recipes as it was told and it came out great, very good
My store has drum stick on sale for $1. a lb. This is a great cheep dinner for us.
They tasted good even though I am not a fan of drum sticks. I did have some trouble getting the chicken scraped to and down the bone. The mix of bread crumb did not want to stick to the chicken. I would try them again though.
Excellent! Next time I think I would cook them at a lower temp, however, for a longer time. They started to get too brown at 450. A big hit at our party!
I love these so much! They are actually good if you’re in a budget!
