Time 55m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 raw chicken drumsticks, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup high-fiber bran cereal (recommended: Fiber One Original)
1 1/4 teaspoons black pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  • Using a blender or food processor, grind cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Transfer crumbs to a large sealable plastic bag. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and all other seasonings. Seal the bag and shake to mix. Open the bag and, if you like, season the crumbs with additional seasonings, to taste. Set aside.
  • Place egg substitute in a wide bowl. Two at a time, coat the drumsticks in egg substitute, gently shake to remove excess liquid and place in the bag with the crumbs. Seal and shake to coat. Transfer crumb-coated drumsticks to the baking sheet and repeat with remaining drumsticks.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes and then carefully flip. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until crispy and cooked through. Enjoy!
