Steps:

Heat oven to 400. Line a jelly-roll pan or shallow roasting pan with foil. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Skin chicken by grasping skin with paper towels and pulling off.
In a pie plate or shallow bowl, slightly beat egg. Coat a few drumsticks in egg at a time.
Place desired crunchy coating (listed below) in plastic food bag. If using tortilla chips, stuffing mix, french fried onions, cheese crackers, or honey mustard pretzels, close bag and crush with a rolling pin. Put 1 or 2 drumsticks in the bag at a time and shake to coat chicken evenly.
Place on prepared pan; lightly coat drumsticks with cooking spray. (If using fried onions or honey mustard pretzels, do not spray). Bake 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and coating is browned.
