The cooking time for sous vide chicken drumsticks depends on the temperature and desired doneness. Generally, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to cook chicken drumsticks at a temperature of 165°F (74°C). However, if a lower temperature of 158°F (70°C) is used, it may take up to 4-5 hours to achieve the desired tenderness and succulence. The sous vide cooking method allows for precise temperature control and ensures that the chicken is cooked evenly throughout, resulting in juicy and flavorful meat.

Preheat the oven and place the breaded chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet. This will allow air to circulate around the chicken and prevent it from getting soggy. Another option is to place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, which will absorb any excess moisture. Avoid overcrowding the chicken on the baking sheet as this can also cause it to become soggy.
