Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Grease a large baking sheet or line baking sheet with foil if you want to save yourself some clean-up time. Prepare and grease a rack, then set inside of the rimmed baking sheet.

Step 2

Rinse chicken in cold water then pat dry with paper towels and season both sides of the drumsticks with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup Dijon with 1/2 cup mayonnaise and fine chopped garlic.

Step 4

In another bowl combine seasoned breadcrumbs and cracker crumbs.

Step 5

Roll or Brush your mustard mixture onto all sides of the drumsticks, then double roll each of them into the bread crumbs to get a nice coating on them.

Step 6

Transfer coated chicken legs to the baking sheet (Don't crowd drumsticks or they won't crisp on the bottom like they should; for extra crispness).

Step 7

Preheat oven to 350˚F.

Step 8

Bake until chicken is cooked through (45-50 minutes) if you want the skin crispy, put it under a hot broiler 3 min or so or until desired crispness (not blackness) is achieved.
