Instructions
Step 1: Season chicken drumsticks with kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hr.
Step 2: While the chicken rests, gather all of the ingredients.

Step 4: Add the flour to a gallon storage bag.
Step 5: Add the baking powder to the flour then add 1 ½ tsp each of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning.
Step 6: Shake to combine and set aside.
Step 7: Add the panko to a gallon storage bag.
Step 8: Add 1 ½ tsp each of smoked paprika, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning.
Step 9: Shake to combine and set aside.
In a small bowl whisk eggs and water. Set aside.
Step 10: When the chicken is done resting, pat dry and preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
Working with one drumstick at a time, dredge in flour and shake off the excess.
Step 11: Dip the drumstick into the egg and turn it over to completely coat.
Step 12: Finally dredge the drumstick in panko, shake off excess, then coat with a generous spray of cooking spray before setting on the prepared rack.
