Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients:

• 8 chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:
   • In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
   • Add the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are fully submerged in the buttermilk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2. Coat the Chicken:
   • In a shallow dish, place the flour.
   • Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, and coat each drumstick in flour.
3. Fry the Chicken:
   • In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), add the drumsticks, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
   • Remove the chicken and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
