Deviled Chicken with Pecan Panko Crust

Deviled Chicken with Pecan Panko Crust

Preheat the oven to 450. You will need 8 large chicken legs, patted dry. Coat them all in about 1/3 cup of dijon mustard (I’ve used whole grain and regular and both have worked well), rubbing it on by hand. In a shallow bowl toss together 1 cup of panko crumbs; 1/2 a cup of crushed, toasted pecans; 1/2 cup of grated parmesan, and a dash of cayenne pepper. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add stir it into the crumbs. Press the legs one at a time into the crumb mixture, rolling them around so they’re fully coated. Place on a buttered baking pan large enough to hold all the legs comfortably. Continue breading the remaining legs. Place pan in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. These are delightful hot out of the oven or chilled and eaten the next day at a picnic or for leftovers.
