Frying chicken drumsticks is a popular cooking method that results in a crispy and flavorful dish. To prepare this dish, drumsticks are seasoned with a combination of herbs and spices to enhance their taste. The chicken is then coated in seasoned flour or batter to create a crispy outer layer when fried. The cooking process involves immersing the drumsticks in hot oil until they achieve a golden-brown color and a crunchy texture. This method not only seals in the juices of the chicken, ensuring a moist interior, but also imparts a deliciously savory and satisfying flavor.

Ingredients
- 10 chicken drumsticks
- Buttermilk
- Hot sauce
- Creole seasoning
- All-purpose flour
- Paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Cayenne pepper adjust to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and in a bowl, combine buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the chicken drumsticks in the buttermilk mixture by ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for better marination.
- Mix together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create the coating or breading mixture (you can add in some cornstarch to thicken the sauce).
- When done with that, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet and take each marinated drumstick, letting excess buttermilk drip off, and coat it thoroughly with the flour mixture.
- You then carefully place the coated drumsticks into the hot oil, a few at a time, to ensure there's space between the chicken, now fry until the drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through, usually about 10 minutes.
- Now, remove the fried drumsticks with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Your chicken drumsticks is ready to be served.
