Calories: 382kcal
Ingredients
To Season Chicken
- 10 Chicken Drumsticks or any cuts
- ¼ cup Ketchup
- ½ tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tsp Blackpepper
- 1 tablespoon Seasoning Powder I used chicken knorr seasoning
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Hot Sauce Optional
- 3 tbsp Olive oil or any cooking oil
- 1 Egg
To Coat Chicken
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon Blackpepper
- 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chilli powder optional
- 1 teaspoon Mixed herbs I used italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 Cups Water cold or room temperature
- Cooking oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 400°F.
- In a bowl, add chicken slices and season with the spices. Allow marinating for about 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and the rest of the coating ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Add water in a cup, should be atleast 2 to 3 inches deep so chicken can easily drench in.
- Take each chicken and coat with flour mixture, shaking off excess flour then drench in the water and coat again with flour mixture. Still shake off excess flour.
- Transfer into a baking pan, and create a barrier between the chicken and the surface of the pan using a rack or greased baking mat or parchment paper. Leave space between each chicken and don't crowd pan.
- When properly arranged on the pan, spray or rub oil (can use butter) on both sides of each chicken so it has that beautiful golden color.
- Bake 400°F for 30 minutes. I didn't flip sides. But if needed, can flip halfway through.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- When soaking chicken in water, I avoid dipping my hands into the water, so as to avoid my fingers getting clumpy during coating with flour. Can also keep one hand for deeping into water and the other to coat with flour.
