🧾 Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 8–10 chicken drumsticks

  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)

  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional but amazing)

For the Seasoned Flour

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp cayenne (optional for heat)

For Frying

  • Vegetable, canola, or peanut oil

🍽️ Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Add drumsticks and coat well.
Marinate at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. Season the Flour

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.

3. Dredge the Drumsticks

Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off.
Roll each piece in seasoned flour, pressing gently to help the coating stick.

4. Heat the Oil

Heat oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C).

5. Fry Until Golden

Add drumsticks carefully, cooking in batches.
Fry 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until:

  • Golden brown

  • Crispy

  • Internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C)

6. Rest & Serve

Place fried chicken on a wire rack (not paper towels) to keep it crispy.
Serve hot with dipping sauces, fries, or coleslaw!

💡 Pro Tips

  • Let chicken rest 10 minutes before frying for a better crust.

  • Double-dip in flour for extra crunch.

  • Add cornstarch (¼ cup) to the flour for a crispier texture.

  • Use a thermometer — consistent oil temp = perfect results.
