The chicken drumstick recipe is easy for a long day at work, too. Mixing and matching spices can be fun as well. If butter is quickly available I’ll put a pat of butter on it, salt & pepper and bake. Then relax. I’ve done the shake and bake using butter (or egg, egg white, or margarine) to dip, then seasoned flour, then bake the same degree for same amount of time, depending on the cut. The easier the better!
