Everything Bagel Chicken Drumsticks

Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these Everything Bagel Chicken Drumsticks bring a tasty twist to a weeknight favourite. The tahini in the coating adds a gentle nuttiness that pairs beautifully with the toasty crunch of the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Garlic, onion, and sesame seeds shine through with each bite, giving the chicken a savoury depth that feels a little gourmet without any extra effort.

Everything Bagel Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 Tbsp cornflour

1 Tbsp tahini

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 Tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning

8 chicken drumsticks

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 190°C fan bake. Lightly grease a roasting dish or line with baking paper.

In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, cornflour, and tahini until smooth.

In another dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Everything Bagel Seasoning.

Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.

Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the prepared roasting dish.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until golden and crisp. The chicken is ready when the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 74°C.

Notes:

You can swap the drumsticks for chicken tenders — just reduce the cooking time to about 15–18 minutes.

Great served with a fresh green salad, potato wedges, or coleslaw.
