We had these chicken legs for dinner last night, and they were SO yummy! Crunchy and nutty and juicy, and easy to make, too. Big hit! (Well, not with MY picky kids, but maybe with yours. Or without kids.) They're gluten free as long as you make sure your cornflakes are.
Crunchy Nutty Chicken legs
serves 4
10 chicken legs
50 g almonds
50 g hazelnuts
100 ml cornflakes
salt
ancho chili
2 eggs
Finely chop almonds and hazelnuts, and finely crush the cornflakes. Combine these, and season with salt and ancho chili powder.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs.
Take each leg by the "handle". Dip in the eggs, and coat well with the crumbing. Place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 175° for about 40 minutes. My oven is a convection oven. If yours is not it might need to be a little bit hotter, but make sure the nuts don't burn.
We served this with potatoes, and a simple but tasty salad that had tomatoes, feta cheese, kalamata olives, red onion, cucumber, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, black pepper and basil. No recipe needed, I'm sure.

I always have problem to make crunchy coating. Do you fry it in deep oil?

Förresten, du som gillar fina grejer och märkesprylar precis som jag.
Jag har gått med i en undersökningssite där varje undersökning ger poäng att handla märkesvaror för. Allt från Eva Solo till Le Creuset kan man plocka ut för poängen. Det är helt gratis och man kan få ihop till så jäkla mycket fint. Hittade länken här där det finns mer att läsa om det. Rekommenderar starkt! http://goo.gl/BepLJk

Yum! Sio simple and looks delicious.
Jonathan: no, this is baked - much easier and less messy than deep frying. And still crunchy!
