Crispy chicken drumsticks aux trois herbes

Chicken second courses

I perfectly know that chicken drumsticks are best eaten fried, but I also know that fried food isn’t that great for a healthy diet. Ok, even slippers taste good if fried, as we use to say here in Tuscany, but really sometimes you have to give up all fried things. So, how to make crispy and crunchy chicken drumsticks without frying them? The answer is: cook them in the oven. And so I did. I covered them with breadcrumbs as if to fry them, but I placed them in the oven instead. And to be sure they cooked evenly, I let them marinate for a coupleof hours in the fridge before covering them with a very aromatic three-herb-breading (parsley, cilantro and chive). The result was really good, and my friends much appreciated this dish (my husband appreciated it, too, as usual, but that’s no news…). <br />
