SESAME CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS WITH DIP

Posted by Carole-Anne on May 6, 2008

Healthy Recipes says “party on” with these sesame drumsticks, which are both so healthy and so yummy!

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds

2 tbsp fine dry bread crumbs

1 organic free run egg beaten

8 chicken drumsticks, skinned

Freshly ground black pepper

1/4 tsp Sea salt, paprika and oregano

Vegetable oil cooking spray

CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE DIP

1 tomato, chopped

2 tbsp low fat sour cream

2 tbsp light mayonnaise

1 tbsp chipotle pepper sauce

1/4 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp sea salt

NEXT TO DO:

Turn oven to 375F degrees.

Use a wire rack on baking sheet that has been covered with foil.  Lightly spray rack with cooking oil spray.

Mix sesame seeds, bread crumbs, and seasonings into a wide bowl. 

Place egg in another bowl (beaten).

Next, dip drumsticks in egg first then into seeded mixture and try to coat evenly.  Spray drumsticks ever so lightly with cooking oil spray.  This will enhance them to brown nicely.

Bake for 45 minutes.  Turn temperature to 400F degrees and bake for another 8 minutes.  Chicken must be golden and the juices must be clear when tested with a fork.

Combine chipotle mayonnaise, tomatoes, low fat sour cream, chipotle pepper, cumin and sea salt.  Blend mixture.  This makes an incredibly tasty dip to be served with the drumsticks.  What a grand idea this is!  Serve as an appetizer, or with a salad and rice pilaf for a meal.  Check the ideas out in the rest of Healthy Recipes site.
