Italian Breaded and Baked Drumsticks

I have always loved breaded drumsticks and this recipe is one of my favorites. Light and crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, these drumsticks are simply perfect. Not to mention, your kids will enjoy them too.

Ingredients:

• 12 chicken drumsticks
• 2 cups balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing {I prefer Trader Joe's}
• 2 cups italian bread crumbs
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp dried parsley

1. Rinse chicken drumsticks. In a gallon size ziploc bag, pour 2 cups balsamic vinaigrette dressing in bottom of bag. Place chicken drumsticks in bag and zip tightly. Lightly shake bag to saturate dressing all over chicken pieces. Place in fridge for at least 1 hour to marinate.
2. After one hour, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a large shallow baking sheet.
   
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix bread crumbs, salt, pepper and parsley together. Roll each marinated chicken piece in breaded mixture, until completely coated with bread crumbs.
4. Place each piece on greased baking sheet and bake in oven on middle oven rack for 50 minutes.
   

Enjoy!
