Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken drumettes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced or grated)
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken drumettes dry with paper towels to ensure they are free of excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each drumette in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and place them on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the drumettes in batches for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the drumettes and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic.
Simmer the sauce for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and becomes glossy.
Place the fried drumettes into a large mixing bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss to coat the drumettes evenly in the sauce.
Transfer the drumettes to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Finger Lickin' Drumettes!
