PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• 1. In a gallon size Ziploc storage bag, add the crushed corn flakes, finely chopped pecans, sugar, salt, onion powder, and the black pepper; shake well to mix.
• 2. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• 3. Spray the foil-lined baking sheet with a nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray.
• 4. At this point I preheated the oven to 375 degrees.
• 5. In a deep-dish bowl, add the egg(s); beat well with a fork.
• 6. Toss the chicken legs one at a time, in the egg mixture to coat each drumstick.
• 7. Then place chicken legs one at a time, in the pecan/cereal mixture in the Ziploc bag.
• 8. Seal the bag, and shake the bag to coat each chicken leg.
• 9. Place the chicken on the foiled lined baking sheet, and drizzle each drumstick with a little bit of the melted butter.
• 10. Bake chicken in the oven for 55 minutes. (Do not turn the chicken while it's baking.)
• 11. Note: I have prepared this pecan chicken before, and using larger size drumsticks, but I was only able to coat 7-(4 oz.) drumsticks with the nutty/cereal coating mix.
