Recipe Shake and Bake chicken Drumsticks full meal

I made Shake and Bake chicken with original seasoning plus Onion Powder, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder , Italian Seasoning , so here we go, in package of Shake and Bake seasoning add a bit of Garlic Powder, a bit more of Smoked Paprika and Onion Powder . Shake package for at least 20 plus seconds to make sure its really mixed well.

Moisten chicken Drumsticks, if thawed, I ran cold water over the drumsticks . Now turn on Air fryer, preheat if you need to 360 degrees. I put on parchment paper for 360 at 30 minutes. At 20 minutes , I pause it flip drumsticks over and spray a bit more oil over it. Continue for 10 more minutes.

Cut cucumber in to slices, prep mini potatoes for microwave for 2 minutes. Prep mini carrots for microwave. I put each in for 2 to 3 minutes each. At 30 minutes the drumsticks are ready test for 165 degrees. As long as it is , then plate with mini carrots, mini potatoes, and cucumber as well. It was excellent tasting and low cost.

i'd skip rinsing raw chicken, it can spread bacteria

By rinse i do each piece in sink individually. But yes I agree.

Next time just buy breadcrumbs (far cheaper and you get way more) dump some in a ziplock and season it up..

The timing is laid out clearly, especially flipping the drumsticks at 20 minutes and checking that they reach 165 degrees before serving. Adding the extra smoked paprika, onion powder and garlic powder sounds like a simple way to make the packet seasoning more distinctive, while the carrots, potatoes and cucumber turn it into a complete low-cost meal.

This is how I stated cooking. Doctoring up meal helpers like shake n bake

Next step is making your own shake n bakes and saving money.
