What a great way to make chicken drumsticks! The breading was terrific. It forms a flavorful crust with being heavy. There was enough to bread 12 drumsticks. To accommodate those who don't care for cayenne I omitted it from the mix and then sprinkled on a few of the drumsticks before baking. Thank you for sharing this recipe! Discovered during ZWT6.

Just loved this recipe! I used boneless breasts, as that is what I had on hand. I used a mixture of breadcrumbs and panko, then, drizzled the teeny bit of butter that was left all over chicken. This was moist and crispy. I did not turn them, and they did not stick! I loved the little bit of heat from the cayenne. This goes in the 'keeper' file! Thanks for sharing, Deantini. Made for ZWT.
