Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

cornmeal

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: polenta

Ground oats provide a similar texture and flavor.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Prepare the dry mixture by combining flour, paprika, chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, garlic powder, and kosher salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, prepare the wet mixture with eggs, mustard, and hot sauce.

Take a chicken drumstick and coat it in the wet mixture, then in the dry mixture, shaking off excess.

Repeat the coating process for all drumsticks, using one hand for wet and one hand for dry to keep it clean.

Melt some margarine and pour it over each coated drumstick.

Refrigerate the coated drumsticks for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) again before baking.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes until cooked through and crispy.
