Description

Enjoy delicious, crispy fried chicken drumsticks marinated in buttermilk for a tender and juicy flavor, coated in a seasoned flour blend for the perfect crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken drumsticks
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Begin by placing the chicken drumsticks in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour in the buttermilk, ensuring that each drumstick is fully submerged. Cover the bowl or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 120 minutes or overnight for the best results.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  3. Heat the Oil: When you’re ready to fry, heat oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet. The ideal temperature is 350°F (175°C). Use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature, ensuring perfect frying conditions.
  4. Dredge the Drumsticks: Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Take each drumstick, allowing any excess buttermilk to drip off, and dredge it in the flour mixture. Coat thoroughly and shake off any extra flour.
  5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the coated drumsticks in the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the drumsticks for about 10-12 minutes, turning as needed, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Drain and Serve: Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy your meal with your favorite sides.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is coated generously to achieve maximum crunchiness.
