Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 150 grams plain potato chips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare the chicken drumsticks by cutting the flesh near the narrow end of each drumstick and pushing it toward the larger end to create a lollipop shape. Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels.
Place the potato chips in a zip-top bag and crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
Coat each chicken drumstick in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the crushed potato chips. Press the chips onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
Place the coated drumsticks onto a tray or plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes to set the coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to submerge the drumsticks halfway.
Carefully lower a few coated drumsticks into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the drumsticks for about 6-8 minutes per side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the fried drumsticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining drumsticks. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy your Lollipop Chippy Chicken!
