Cayenne-Spiked Oven-Fried Chicken

1/4 c. whole-wheat panko
2 T. all-purpose flour
1 t. dried rosemary
1 t. dried sage
1 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. cayenne
3/4 c. low-fat buttermilk
8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed

1. Preheat oven to 450 deg. Line the broiler pan with foil.

2. Mix together the panko, flour, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large shallow bowl. Pour the buttermilk, into another bowl. Dip the drumsticks, one at a time in to the buttermilk mixture, then roll in the panko mixture to coat evenly.
