Baked Chicken Drumsticks

INGREDIENTS

6 chicken drumsticks

1 egg

1 cup polenta

¼ cup sesame seeds (chia seeds can also be used)

½ cup finely grated parmesan

1tbsp Tweed Real Food Louisiana BBQ Rub

METHOD

Beat egg in a shallow bowl.
Mix polenta, sesame seeds, cheese and Louisiana BBQ Rub in a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken into egg, then press crumb mix onto chicken.
Repeat for all 6 drumsticks.
Place on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking. (this will ensure the crumb sticks to the chicken better while cooking)

Set oven to 220.
Line a large roasting pan with foil and place a rack into the pan.
Place drumsticks onto rack leaving space in between each drumstick.
Roast for 40mins or until browned, turning half way through.

Serve with grilled lemon and homemade tomato sauce (see recipe) and mayonnaise.
