A Leg Up (Oven Fried Drumsticks) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 chicken drumsticks (3 1/2 pounds)
    1 large egg
    nonstick cooking spray
Preparation
    Heat oven to 400. Line a jelly-roll pan or shallow roasting pan with foil. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
    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 (listed below) in plastic food bag. If using tortilla chips, stuffing mix, french fried onions, 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.
