How to Make Baked Sesame Parmesan Chicken Drumsticks Or Wings

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Remove the skin from the chicken drumsticks or wings (optional). Pat dry with paper towels.
3. In a large plastic bag or bowl, combine 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, ¼ cup sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
5. Brush the chicken with melted butter, then add it to the bag/bowl with the breadcrumb mixture. Seal the bag and shake well, or toss gently in the bowl to coat evenly.
6. Place the chicken on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
8. Flip the chicken and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
9. For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
