  • Whisk 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator, stirring once or twice, for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.

  • Combine 2 teaspoons dill, 2 teaspoons chives, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Place cornflakes in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and shake off the excess. Sprinkle the herb mixture all over the drumsticks, then roll them in the cornflakes, coating well. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and coat all sides with cooking spray.

  • Bake the drumsticks until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise with the remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon chives and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl. Serve the chicken with vegetables and the dipping sauce.
