Skin chicken by grasping skin with paper towels and pulling off.
In a pie plate or shallow bowl, slightly beat egg. Coat a few drumsticks in egg at a time.
Place desired Crunchy Coating in plastic food bag. If using tortilla chips, stuffing mix, french fried onins, cheese crackers or honey-mustard pretzels, close bag and crush with a rolling pin. Put 1 or 2 drumsticks in the bag at a time and shake to coat chicken evenly.
Place on prepared pan; lightly coat drumsticks with cooking spray. (If using fried onions or honey-mustard pretzels, do not spray.) Bake 30 to 35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and coating is browned. |
