Breaded Chicken Drumsticks Recipe

In plastic bag or shallow dish, combine flour, sage and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper. In shallow bowl, whisk egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water. In separate plastic bag or shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and cheese.

Place chicken in flour mixture and shake or roll to coat. Remove from flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Transfer to egg mixture, rolling to coat and letting any excess drip off. Transfer to bread-crumb mixture; shake or roll to coat.

In nonstick skillet, heat 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil over medium heat; cook drumsticks, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Bake in 375F (190C) oven until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 15 minutes.
