Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/3 cup mayonnaise until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, mix 1 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Step 4: Pat dry 8 bone-in chicken drumsticks with paper towels. Dip each drumstick into the egg-mayo mixture, then dredge thoroughly in the almond-Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
  5. Step 5: Place coated drumsticks on the wire rack and drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over all pieces.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the coating is golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep the coating crisp.
