Recipe View Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

For extra crispy skin, you can place the drumsticks under the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the Parmesan mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the dish.
Consider serving with roasted asparagus or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
