Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

24 chicken drumsticks
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce
5 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Divide drumsticks between 2 large resealable plastic bags. Whisk onion, oil, garlic and soy sauce in medium bowl to blend. Divide onion mixture between bags with drumsticks. Seal bags; turn to coat with marinade. Refrigerate overnight.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Brush foil generously with vegetable oil.

    Step 3

    Remove drumsticks from marinade; scrape off any onion or garlic. Place drumsticks in large bowl. Place breadcrumbs in another large bowl. Whisk mustard and wine in small bowl. Drizzle over drumsticks; toss well to coat. Sprinkle drumsticks with salt and pepper. Turn each drumstick in breadcrumbs, coating lightly but evenly. Place on prepared baking sheets.

    Step 4

    Bake drumsticks 45 minutes. Increase heat to 400°F and bake drumsticks until evenly browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.

Miso-Peanut Hibachi Chicken
The magic of this hibachi chicken recipe comes from a combination of miso and peanut butter and how it beautifully caramelizes when it hits the grill.
Crispy Baked Wings With Berbere Honey Glaze and Fried Garlic
Berbere is a spicy chile blend that has floral and sweet notes from coriander and cardamom, and when it’s paired with a honey glaze, it sets these wings apart from anything else you’ve ever had.
Oven-Fried Shrimp
Kewpie Mayonnaise is the ultimate secret ingredient to creating a perfect oven-baked battered-and-fried crunch without a deep fryer.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Crispy Tofu With Scallion-Ginger Sauce
The tofu is crunchy on the outside, in part thanks to a panko-studded exterior, and squishy-in-a-good-way on the inside. It also comes together in 20 minutes.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Southern Thai Fried Chicken (Gai Tod Hat Yai)
This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.
Our Favorite French Onion Soup
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
