Serving size: 4 oz. Servings per recipe: 4 Calories: 258  Cholesterol: 74 mg Fat: 11 g  (4 saturated fat, 0 trans fats) Protein: 26 g Sodium: 475 mg  Total carbohydrate: 12 g (1 fiber,  2 sugars)Tastes fried but doesn't have the fat of fried chicken. Good as cold leftovers too.

Ingredients

6 chicken drumsticks
1/2 cup skim or low-fat milk for soaking the chicken
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs or cereal crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Vegetable oil spray for the chicken, if desired*


Directions

  1. Place the chicken drumsticks in a shallow bowl or pan, and cover them with the milk. Let the chicken soak for 15 minutes or longer making sure it is evenly coated with the milk. Refrigerate, if necessary, to keep the ingredients cold.
  2. In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs or cereal crumbs, cheese, parsley flakes and pepper.
  3. One by one, dip the soaked chicken pieces in the breading moisture, coating the chicken on all sides. Set the coated chicken pieces on a greased baking sheet, preferably one with a nonstick surface. Lightly spray the chicken pieces with vegetable oil spray, if desired.
  4. Bake the chicken in oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes or until fully cooked.
