Fabulous Freezer Chicken Drumsticks (Oamc)

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"The coating mix listing in this recipe is enough for 12 drumsticks, and the marinade ingredients in this recipe is for two bags of drumsticks (12 in each bag). For the next batch of drumsticks you will have to prepare another recipe of coating mix. When you are ready to make a bag of drumsticks, place them in the fridge overnight to thaw. If desired, increase the drumsticks to 48, double the amount of oil and soy sauce, an use 1 more onion, keep the garlic still at 1/4 cup, and make 4 bags of these to freeze, just remember to marinate overnight before placing in the freezer.... trust me kids of all ages love these, they are delicious!"

I let the drumsticks marinade in the soy sauce mixture overnight then when ready, let it absorb the mustard mixture for 10 minutes. I then baked it in my toaster oven. The end result: the chicken was really salty (I drank a lot of water tonight!) and for some reason, they came out too dry. I baked 7 pieces tonight, of which my hubby & I didn't eat 3. I have a lot more in the fridge. Next time, I'll try baking it in the oven and see if that'll make a difference.

Mmmm! Just incase I didn’t make that clear enough I said, "Mmmmmm.” Once I made the mixture I knew this recipe was going to turn out great. It smelled so good you could hear me in the kitchen saying, “Mmmm” until the chicken was sealed in the bags to marinate. The next day, I tried four DS (drumsticks) out. However, I didn’t add the mustard or the wine (I seemed to skip that part), I only coated one DS in breadcrumbs (incase I didn’t like it), and I poured a little bit of the marinade and onions onto the remaining 3 DS. Yum! And Mmmm!
