I used drumsticks (8) though only 5 were eaten between 3 of us but I usually like left overs to taste them cold to see if they can be suitable for taking on a picnic, I used breadcrumbs but only used about 1/2 cup (out of the cup) and instead of brushing the melted butter over the drumsticks I dredged it through the butter. Instead of putting in a baking tray I put them on the grill rack with a tray under and baked at 200C fan forced for 50 minutes for lovely crispy and moist drumsticks (though I forgot the lightly oil the rack so my drumsticks stuck on the rack). Thank you kausha in Italy, made for Bargain Basement.
