Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 500 ml Buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir well.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate.
In another large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and let any excess marinade drip off. Dip each chicken drumstick into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally back into the flour mixture. Be sure to coat each drumstick thoroughly, pressing the coating onto the chicken for maximum crispiness.
Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep frying pan or deep fryer to 175°C (350°F). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of the flour mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the coated chicken drumsticks to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 74°C or 165°F).
Place the fried chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and keep it crispy.
Serve hot and enjoy your Crunchy Coating Happy Family Fried Chicken with your favorite dipping sauces or sides!
