This Panko Crusted Chicken with Horseradish is made with chicken drumsticks, eggs, horseradish, Worcestershire, panko crumbs, and baked to perfection.

One of my favorite condiments will always be horseradish, as it always delivers such a nice kick to it. This is an easy, healthy recipe that’s ready in under 40 minutes. It is baked on parchment paper lines baking sheet, which makes clean up so much easier. The chicken will come out juicy, tender and so full of flavor. The combination of the panko crumbs, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce is to die for.

Substitutions
- Chicken drumsticks: I love using chicken drumsticks with this recipe, although you can use any bone-in chicken like chicken thighs or chicken wings.
- Egg: The egg works well to use as the glue for the recipe and helps the panko crumbs stick to the chicken. For best quality, use organic, cage-free eggs for this recipe.
- Horseradish: This is optional but gives the chicken such a nice kick to it. You can use creamy or regular horseradish.
- Worcestershire sauce: This will always be one of my favorite sauces ever. If you are not a fan, you can opt for using soy sauce instead.
- Bread crumbs: I used panko bread crumbs for this recipe and they will always be my favorite when it comes to crusted chicken. You can use Italian breadcrumbs if you prefer.
Variations
Cooking is a chance to be creative! Have fun with it and feel free to make your own variation.
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes to imbue heat into the chicken.
- Deluxe - Serve with tzatsiki and chopped dill
- Kid friendly - Children love breaded chicken and I know they will love this.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
