I make this pretty often. Messy, but worth it. Have also done this with boneless thighs and breasts.
5-6 large chicken legs
Large crimini mushrooms (optional)
Pat chicken dry and roll in coconut flour and cornstarch.
You can dip in egg or egg white (I use 2 Tbsp chia in 6 Tbsp cold water that I let thicken.)
Preheat oven to 450.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil on it.
Fill gallon zipper bag with:
1/4 c or more fine cornmeal
1/4 c or more panko crumbs and/or italian bread crumbs
Dried onion flakes
Grated parmesan
Garlic powder
Smoked paprika
Cayenne
Sesame seeds
Drop 1 or 2 legs into the bag, zip, shake. Repeat until all are covered.
Fill mushrooms from the bag mix. Refrigerate any remaining mix for use over the next couple of days.
Put chicken and mushrooms (now or later) on the cookie sheet.
Drop temperature to 425. Cook chicken for 40-45 minutes, without turning. Mushrooms need maybe 25 minutes, so either pull them early az an appetizer or start them later.
Let the legs sit 5 min. Salt them and eat them. They are actually better cold as leftovers the next day.
