Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 500 ml Buttermilk
- 200 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 g Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 liter Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, submerge the chicken drumsticks in buttermilk, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and baking powder. Mix well to create the seasoned flour mix.
Remove the chicken drumsticks from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Dredge each drumstick thoroughly in the seasoned flour mix, pressing to ensure the coating adheres well.
In a deep frying pan or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F) over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to accurately monitor the oil temperature.
Carefully add the coated drumsticks to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Fry the drumsticks for about 12-15 minutes per batch, turning occasionally to ensure even browning, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and they are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully remove the drumsticks from the oil once cooked and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried chicken drumsticks hot with your choice of sides, like coleslaw or mashed potatoes.
