So, the other night I realized I had some chicken that I bought on an optimistic whim and didn't know what to do with. So I looked up on The Food Network Website easy chicken recipes, and sorted through the many that contained expensive or hard to find ingredients (Mexican style chorizo?) and finally found one for rosemary garlic chicken drumsticks.
The cook time was a little longer than I had initially wanted (55 minutes instead of my original search for 15 or less) but the prep was very quick and then I just had to put it in the oven and try to write a paper that was due the next day at our kitchen table while I watched the timer (on Paradise Lost, that part of this adventure didn't go as smoothly)
Basically, you just combine the flour with salt and pepper in a bowl, put all the pieces of chicken in that, then dip them into an egg and milk mixture, then put in a large ziploc bag, breadcrumbs, rosemary and minced garlic, then shake it around for a little bit. These then go in the refrigerator for like 15 minutes just so it sets, then you put them in the oven. Done. They were really good, and I tricked a few people into thinking that I cook all the time! Also when I called my dad and told him that not only did I do my laundry that week, but I also made chicken from scratch, let's just say "surprised" could accurately describe his response.
