Oven Baked Breaded Beer Drumsticks

The other night I was craving some chicken I just did not know what kind I wanted.  I only had chicken legs in the freezer so I knew I wanted to do some sort of breaded chicken.  While I was thinking about what to make, I though of this chicken that I used to make when I started cooking.  It was a seasoning that came in a packet and you poured it over your chicken and let your chicken marinate for an hour or so.  I decided to try something like that of my own, and it turned out really good.  I would say if you do have chicken breasts I would use those, but that's probably just because I like chicken breasts more then chicken legs.

5. In a medium sized bowl add your breadcrumbs.
6. Place one drumstick at a time into your breadcrumbs until fully coated.
7. Place chicken on a cookie sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink (I don't have a thermometer so I cut my biggest drumstick to make sure it was cooked through(
