INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350˚F, and prepare a baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.

BREADING

1. To create a breading station, place the flour in a shallow soup bowl.
2. In a second soup bowl, whisk together the egg, yellow mustard and water.
3. In a third soup bowl, combine the panko crumbs, cracker crumbs, paprika, poultry seasoning, cumin, dry mustard, onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
4. One at a time, dredge each drumstick in the flour (tapping off the excess).
5. Next, give them a quick dip in the egg mixture, and then roll them in the crumb mixture.

COOKING

1. Arrange the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
2. Remove to a serving dish, sprinkle with salt and garnish with chopped red chilies and scallions.
