Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, Dijon mustard, honey, chipotle chile powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper. Whisk together until combined. Transfer 6 tablespoons of the sauce to a shallow bowl. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
In a medium bowl, combine breadcrumbs, ½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon ground pepper. Dip each drumstick into the sauce that is in the shallow bowl and then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the drumsticks on a baking sheet or large plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place it in the oven for 5 minutes. Getting the baking sheet good and hot will enable nice crust to form on the chicken.
Place the chicken drumsticks on the hot baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 170 degrees F.
Arrange the drumsticks on a serving platter, garnish with cilantro and diced red bell pepper. The cilantro is for flavor, but the red bell pepper is just to provide a pop of color for presentation.
Warm the reserved sauce in the microwave - about 30 seconds on high should do it. Serve with the drumsticks.
