1 large egg
Crunchy coating (choice of 1 below)

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.

Skin chicken by grasping skin with paper towels and pulling off. In a shallow bowl, slightly beat egg. Coat a few drumsticks in egg at a time. Place desired crunchy coating in plastic bag. Crush. Put 2 drumsticks in the bag at a time and shake to coat chicken. Place on pan, lightly coat drumsticks with cooking spray. (If using fried onions or honey mustard pretzels, do not spray). Bake 35 min. or until chicken is cooked through and coating is browned.
