1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or air fryer to 390°F if using.
2. In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dip each chicken lollipop into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
For oven:
1. Place the coated chicken lollipops on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each drumstick.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the coating is golden and crispy. You can check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick; it should register at least 175°F.
3. Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
For air fryer:
1. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
2. Place the coated chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
3. Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through, and the coating is golden and crispy.
4. Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
