Body Builder Fried Chicken

My boys absolutely love fried chicken, which is a tad bit counterproductive to our New Years resolution to be body builders. Lol! Yes! We are still working on our goal! We haven't arrived but we are trying; that counts right!?! Lol!

Body Builder Fried Chicken
2 Packages Chicken Drum Sticks

Crumb Mixture
2 Bags of Croutons
2/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
2 Tb Parsley
1 Tb Paprika
Salt
Pepper

Egg Wash
2 eggs
1/2 Tb Paprika
Salt Pepper

Preheat Oven 425 Degrees

Crumb Mixture

I used cheese and garlic and butter and garlic croutons
to kick up the flavor of my crumb mixture

Pour both bags in Ninja
(Blender, Food Processor)
Pulse till finely ground

Pour ground crumbs into a large, wide bowl
Add rest of crumb ingredients and mix together
 
 
 
 
Chicken
 
Make sure chicken is thawed completely
Put in frig over night or
Nook on defrost setting till thawed
 
 
 
 
 
Egg Wash

Add both eggs and spices to bowl
Mix well with a fork
 
 
 
 
Cook It Up

Set up your work station like so:
I like to line my pans with parchment paper for easy clean up.

'Wash' leg with egg
(Use right hand for wet)

Coat leg with crumb mixture
(Use left hand for dry)

Set on lined pan

I like to alternate legs like so:
Cook for 1hr or till golden brown and cooked through
 
Serve with rice and grilled veggies!
Enjoy!
