Chicken legs in breadcrumbs

Breaded chicken legs are cooked in different ways: in the oven, double breaded, stuffed in breadcrumbs. Bread breading will preserve the delicate texture of the product and give it a crispy golden crust. This recipe for breaded chicken legs is very simple, since cooking chicken meat in the oven does not require special culinary skills. If chicken fillet is quite easy to overdry, then drumsticks are moderately fatty meat that will be ready within an hour.

How to cook Chicken legs in breadcrumbs

Step 1

Chicken legs in breadcrumbs

Prepare the marinade sauce. Mix mayonnaise with garlic and mustard. Grease the shins with the resulting mixture and let the meat sit for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Step 3

Chicken legs in breadcrumbs - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, chicken thighs work well as a substitute for drumsticks. Adjust cooking time slightly (about 45-50 minutes) since thighs may cook faster due to their flatter shape.
Greek yogurt or sour cream are great mayo alternatives that add a similar creamy texture while keeping the chicken moist. For a lighter option, try olive oil mixed with lemon juice.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers instead of regular breadcrumbs. Double-check that your mustard and mayonnaise are certified gluten-free if needed.
Absolutely! Coat as directed, then air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. The breading will soften over time, but the chicken remains safe to eat when properly stored.
Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven or air fryer for 10-15 minutes. Avoid microwaving as it makes the breading soggy. Adding a spritz of oil helps restore crispiness.
Yes! Freeze after breading (before baking) on a tray until solid, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 3 months. Bake frozen, adding 10-15 extra minutes to cooking time.
Try roasted potatoes, a fresh garden salad, or steamed vegetables. For comfort food, serve with mashed potatoes and gravy or mac and cheese.
Add 1/2 tsp cayenne or smoked paprika to the breadcrumbs, or mix hot sauce into the marinade. For extra kick, use spicy brown mustard instead of regular mustard.
