Directions

Prep 15 minCook 50 min
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F and set the rack to the middle position. Lightly oil a large baking sheet.

  2. 2

    In a food processor, combine the tortilla chips, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Pulse until coarsely ground, then transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and the remaining chili powder.

  4. 4

    Season the chicken drumsticks with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

  5. 5

    Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the drumsticks evenly with the tortilla chip crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.

  6. 6

    Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Do not turn the chicken during baking.

  8. 8

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the drumsticks rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes before serving.
