For chicken:

4 chicken drumsticks bone-in, skin-on
3 cups corn flakes crushed
3 egg whites
1 tbsp buttermilk

2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

For chicken:

Preheat oven at 350F/170C
Line a baking sheet with baking paper and place a cooling rack on top of it.
Spray the cooling rack with non-stick cooking spray
In a bowl, add the egg whites and buttermilk and whisk with a fork until frothy
In a separate bowl add the corn flakes
Dip the chicken in the egg white mixture then dip them in the cornflakes. Press firmly with your hands until the drumsticks are covered in corn flakes
Arrange the drumsticks on the cooling rack and bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown. If they begin to brown too much, carefully remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, then continue baking.
