Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F with rack in middle. Oil a large 4-sided sheet pan.

Pulse chips, 2 tsp chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 tsp salt in a food processor until coarsely ground, then transfer to a shallow dish.

Whisk egg and remaining 2 tsp chili powder in a bowl.

Season chicken with 1/2 tsp salt. Dip drumsticks in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Transfer to sheet pan.

Bake, without turning, until cooked through, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.

SERVE WITH: roasted potato wedges with cilantro-lime mayonnaise
