I'm sure this recipe would work well with chicken thighs.
CRUNCHY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
8 chicken drumsticks (about 3 1/2 pounds)
1 large egg
Crushed potato chips (enough to make about 1 cup, or 1 small bag of potato chips)
Nonstick spray, mild olive or vegetable oil, melted butter, or egg white
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a jelly-roll pan or shallow roasting pan with foil coated with nonstick cooking spray, oil, or melted butter.
2. Remove the skin from the chicken, if desired.
3. Lightly beat the egg in a pie plate or a shallow bowl.
4. Place the desired Crazy Crunchy Coating in plastic food bag. If using tortilla chips, stuffing mix, French fried onions, cheese crackers or honey-mustard pretzels, close the bag and crush the contents into fine crumbs with a rolling pin.
5. Coat one or two drumsticks at a time in the egg, then allow any excess to drop off before placing in the bag of crazy crunchy coatings. Shake to coat the chicken evenly.
6. Place on prepared pan and lightly coat the drumsticks with cooking spray. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
