BAKED SESAME PARMESAN CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS (OR WINGS)
This is another recipe from Toronto Star. The original recipe called for chicken wings and with the skin left on. We believe however after we made it with the skin on that it would be better with the skin off. You can do it either way and let me know what you prefer.The flavour of the parmesan comes thru very nicely.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees.
- 2. Wash off the drumsticks. Do not take off the skin!
- 3. Put all the drumsticks in a large bowl & add salt and pepper.
- 5. The bottle of Adjika is usually about 8.8 oz. I use about half of that small jar. Mix the adjika with mayo. Really depends on your taste. Make sure every drumstick is rubbed with the sauce.
- 5. Take out a dish which can fit all the drumsticks on there and line it with foil (or you can just rub down the dish with butter or spray with pam, so no foil is needed really) Place the drumsticks.
- 6. Bake for about 15-20 mins on one side and then flip them to bake for the same time on the over side.
- 7. If more time needed to cook leave them in for a little more.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken drumsticks: Look for drumsticks that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are thin or have a lot of bone.
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks: Marinating the chicken drumsticks in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize them and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and herb marinade, a yogurt-based marinade, or a spicy marinade.
- Preheat the oven: Make sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the chicken drumsticks. This will help to ensure that the chicken drumsticks cook evenly.
- Bake the chicken drumsticks: Place the chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for the recommended amount of time. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken drumsticks and the temperature of the oven.
- Let the chicken drumsticks rest: Once the chicken drumsticks are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken drumsticks and prevent them from drying out.

Baked chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
