I made this recipe last week and it was a hit with the kids. It's like any other oven-fried chicken, but it has a twist by being coated with tortilla chips instead of bread crumbs. I made the recipe exactly as written (as below) and served it with some oven fries that roast at the same temperature and for the same time. For the fries, simply cut Yukon or russet potatoes into wedge shapes, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, and bake on a preheated cooking sheet, turning once.
Tortilla Chicken Drumsticks (Gourmet)
Timing - 20 minutes prep and 40-45 minutes to cook
Ingredients
8 oz lightly salted corn tortilla chips
4 teaspoons chili powder, divided
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large egg
2 1/2 lb chicken drumsticks (about 10)
How to Make
Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Oil a large 4-sided sheet pan.
Pulse chips, 2 tsp chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 tsp salt in a food processor until coarsely ground, then transfer to a shallow dish.
Whisk egg and remaining 2 tsp chili powder in a bowl.
Season chicken with 1/2 tsp salt. Dip drumsticks in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Transfer to sheet pan.
Bake, without turning, until cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.
Serves 4
