This beats fried chicken hands down, and is much healthier, too

Ingredients

1. 30g packet fajita seasoning
2. 2 tbsp plain flour
3. 100g fresh white breadcrumbs
4. 2 eggs
5. 8 chicken drumsticks
6. 3 tbsp vegetable oil
7. For the coleslaw
8. 4 tbsp light mayonnaise
9. Juice of 1/2 lemon
10. 350g white cabbage, finely shredded
11. 1 small red onion, finely sliced
12. 1 medium carrot, coarsely grated

Method

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Line a roasting tin with foil. Divide the fajita seasoning between 2 bowls, add the flour to 1 and breadcrumbs to the other. Stir to mix. Beat the eggs in a third bowl.
2. 2. Toss the chicken in the flour. Dip each drumstick in the egg, then evenly in the breadcrumbs. Add to the tin, drizzle with the oil and bake for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked, deep golden and crispy.
3. 3. Meanwhile, make the coleslaw by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl. Season and serve with the chicken.
