CRISPY BAKED DRUMSTICKS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE

My husband was working late one night last week, and I thought this would be a fun meal for the kids and I - no fighting over the limited two drumsticks from the Sunday roast.

CRISPY BAKED DRUMSTICKS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE


2/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs (or panko if that is what you have on hand)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons olive oil
1 egg
8 skinless chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup greek yogurt
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
ground black pepper to taste

Heat oven to 425F.
In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, paprika, onion powder and salt. Drizzle with oil and mash with fork until oil is thoroughly incorporated. Lightly beat egg with fork in another shallow dish. Dip drumsticks into egg, then press into breading mixture until evenly coated on both sides. Discard any remaining mixture and egg.
Place chicken on a rack coated with cooking spray on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Combine yogurt, mustard, honey and pepper in a small bowl. Serve sauce with the drumsticks.
Enjoy!
