The last time I went to a family party someone pointed out that I had nice "chicken legs".
Not that I will ever turn down a good skinny leg comment...I don't think they where talking about my thighs...Those are still a work in progress.
The chicken legs where on my plate.
Meet the meat. These are awesome. My sister in law( who as a random matter of fact has the same first name as my birth-sista') made these fabulous drumsticks. As a foodie, I could not go without getting the recipe and posting it. Well done Jen. I loved them. Ace won't touch chicken, not even Jen's. I may have to make about 6 batches of this chicken when he is in Germany. Just for fun. Actually, I may just make baked beans as his main course and have chicken tonight!
Jen's Crispy Oven Baked Chicken legs
12 chicken drum sticks,skin removed
2 Cups corn flakes
pinch of cayenne pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 eggs
Crush corn flakes in gallon size freezer bag. Add cayenne pepper, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix. Remove skin from chicken. Dip each chicken drumstick in egg, then coat w/ corn flake mixture. Spray pan, place chicken in pan. Bake at 350 for about an hour.
Freezer meal side note:
If you want to have these already cooked on hand in your freezer, they work! Cook, then cool in the fridge. When totally cooled, transfer to a gallon size freezer bag (for 6 servings or 2 quart size for 3 servings each). When you want to serve them, pop into the oven and bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes. The cornflakes will re-crisp and you will have a much lower fat version of fried chicken.

There you go.
