Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk and the minced garlic. Add the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the drumsticks from the buttermilk marinade, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick, even coating.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully place 3-4 drumsticks in the hot oil at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Once cooked, transfer the drumsticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Crunchy Garlic Drumsticks hot with your favorite dipping sauces or a side salad.
