Spicy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Drum Sticks

We eat a lot of chicken! I would say that we eat chicken at least 3 days of the week, more if we have a meal of left overs, well, if Andre doesn't take the left overs for lunch that is. I probably have a dozen or so favourite recipes but I am constantly looking for new ideas. I came across a few posts for garlic Parmesan chicken wings, tweaked them to my liking and came up with this version for drum sticks. No sense in feeding Andre wings, he needs something meatier than that! These are delicious and are good cold the next day for lunch.

You can also cook the chicken in the oven for about 30-45 minutes if you prefer.
