Pete’s KFC Chicken Drumsticks
6 Chicken Drumsticks (ff)
1tsp mixed herbs
1tsp Knorr Aromat
4 slices of wholemeal bread
1/2 tsp Paprika
Pepper
3 eggs (ff)
Greaseproof paper to cover an oven tray
Place three slices from a 400g wholemeal loaf into the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes, remove and allow to cool.
When breadcrumbs are cold place into a mini grinder with the herbs, paprika & Aromat and season with Pepper grind to a fine powder, place in a medium size plastic bag.
Prepare an oven tin by covering the inside with greaseproof paper.
Break the eggs into a small dish.
Set oven to 180c
Place the Chicken Drumsticks into a saucepan of water, bring to the boil, turn down to simmer for 5 mins, remove drumsticks and allow to cool.
When cool remove the skin, you should have a moist piece of Chicken.
Firstly dip the drumstick in the egg and then holding the bone of the drumstick, place into the bag, close the open end of the bag and holding it tightly, shake until the drumstick is covered with the breadcrumb mix. Remove and place on the baking tray, adding breadcrumbs where they are missing!
Cook for about 15-18 mins or until the drumsticks look nicely browned…

I'm trying to make this recipe - but a bit stuck as to what to do with the bread when it comes out of the microwave. Do I blitz it in the food processor to make breadcrumbs? Also, it says to put the breadcrumbs and spices in a mini grinder. I have a small coffee grinder and a mini chopper, but there is too much bread to go in them. Will it work in a food processor? Sorry for all the questions - not very good at cooking from scratch, lol
