Cooked this last night, wow, what a quick, easy and soooo tasty midweek quick bite to have. Absolutely delish, Donna, thanks.

This is the most incredible (and easy) chicken recipe ever! I made it last night, using 4 drumsticks instead of the wings, and it turned out far better than I could have hoped for. My fiance wanted to go to the supermarket and buy more chicken so we could make another batch. I served the crispy chicken with a simple green salad with a sesame-miso dressing, and also popped in some new season Marlborough asparagus into the oven for the last 12 minutes, which soaked up the chicken coating and crisped up perfectly. A dream meal for a mid-week meal in a hurry.
