"These drums are perfect picnic food. Great hot, cold or room temp. When I made this...I thought the oven temp was too high for my old stove...so I baked a combo of legs & thighs at 375F and found that was a perfect temp that resulted in beautifully golden juicy chicken."

This is some Delicious chicken. One bite and you’re craving for more and then some. The chicken came out juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Baked it at 375 for about 35-40 and then raised it to 400 degrees F for about 5-6 minutes to crisp it up a bit more. Sliding this one right into my Best Of file. Thank you, Luvcookn, for sharing.

I scaled back for 1 and used a Maryland cut (thigh and drum intact) which took 50 minutes to bake in a fan forced oven at 175C. The skin was crispy and the flesh soft and moist and the flavour divine. Thank you Luvcookn, made for What's On The Menu tag game at FF&F.

This is so good...I found a steal on drumsticks while shopping and remembered this recipe...(the hubby hates drumsticks)...so I bought two packages of 12...(they are all mine)...I cut this recipe in half and have leftovers and froze the rest for "LATER"...this will be made again later...it's so easy and the dijon flavor is highlighted...next time I'm increasing the cayenne pepper...thanks for sharing your recipe...

These are very good -- I had to use regular breadcrumbs but otherwise followed the recipe as written. A great and easy way to prepare chicken. Thanks for sharing!
