Just tried this and it was lovely. Will be having it again 
Really like the idea of cooling them and having them for dinner with pasta or salad

Can you make it up so follow the recipe until you get to cooking it in the oven but instead put it in the fridge for tomorrows dinner and just cook it then? Would it go a bit soggy?

Starting over again......
I'd do the breadcrumbs last personally, but it could be worth a shot.

Has anyone tried doing onion rings using a similar method?

Syn free KFC style chicken drumsticks made with Smash instant potato instead of bread crumbs:
INGREDIENTS
9 skinless chicken drumsticks, all visible fat removed
1 egg
2 Tsp of chicken Bovril
Frylight
Half a cup of Smash instant potato flakes
1 Tsp of black pepper
1 Maggi cube
0.5-1 Tsp of onion powder
0.5-1 Tsp of garlic powder/salt
0.5-1 Tsp of sweet paprika
0.5-1 Tsp of chilli powder (you can leave this out if you don't want it too hot)
METHOD
Beat the egg and Bovril until well combined
Mix all of the spices into the potato flakes - stir through with a spoon to make sure the spices are distributed evenly.
Dip each (raw) drumstick into the egg until covered. Then place in the bowl with the potato/spice mix. The egg will allow the potato/spice mix to cling to the meat. Repeat until all drumsticks are caked in the potato/spice mix.
Lay the drumsticks on a baking sheet sprayed with Frylight. Spray the chicken as well. Cook until golden brown.
Loved this - didn't taste at all potato-y. The Instant potato acts similar to flour and came out really flavourful. My son had the idea that instead of adding all the spices to the potato, you could perhaps add a ready made spice mix such as the Maggi so Juicy (4-5.5 syns per pack) or the Old El Paso chicken fajita BBQ mix (4.5 syns per pack)

Thanks for sharing this recipe! Sounds really great, the chicken must be very tender if it's boiled before being baked! Yum! Can't wait to try!

I made it this week and it was yummy! Definitely a favourite with the OH. I only used half a jar of Bovril though because a whole jar seemed like a lot and I think I made the right decision! It was delish but I think more Bovril might have spoilt it.
