Baked Sesame Parmesan Chicken Drumsticks (Or Wings)

"This is another recipe from Toronto Star. The original recipe called for chicken wings and with the skin left on. We believe however after we made it with the skin on that it would be better with the skin off. You can do it either way and let me know what you prefer.The flavour of the parmesan comes thru very nicely."

  1. 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.
     
  2. Easy and delicious. I had chicken wings on hand, so used those. They worked very well! We enjoyed this quick recipe very much. Now I can't wait to try them with boneless, skinless chicken breasts! ~Made for ZWT6 Family Picks - Zee Zesties~
     
  3. These smelled heavenly while baking in the oven and were absolutely delicious as well. Keeper wing recipe ~ very easy and you don't have to worry about basting with sauce while baking. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6 ~ FAMILY PICKS and the Queens of Quisine!
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. Birdseed chicken (thighs)...ha! Do you date? You have to meet my cockatiel, Pepper, who right now is taking a dip in the fishbowl. Hold on...what's that? He said he's available...Friday night. He said you two have something in common. (-; Made for ZWT #6.
