Preparation Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in upper third. Pat chicken dry, then toss with mustard until evenly coated. Stir together panko, cheese, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Drizzle with butter and toss. Dredge each drumstick in crumb mixture to coat, then arrange, without crowding, in a buttered large 4-sided sheet pan. Roast until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cooks' note: Chicken can be roasted 1 day ahead and chilled.
