Pretzel-and-Mustard Baked Chicken

Baking with a pretzel crust puts a slim spin on fried chicken.
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
2 cups pretzel nuggets
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
2 tablespoons skim milk
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
Parchment paper
3 pounds skinless chicken parts (including bones)

PREPARATION
Heat oven to 375°. Pulse pretzels in a food processor until nuggets become coarse crumbs. Whisk mustard, milk and salt in a bowl. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll each piece of chicken in mustard mixture, rubbing off excess into a bowl. Coat chicken with crumbs and place on baking sheet. Bake until juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
