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

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, submerge the chicken drumsticks in buttermilk, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Carefully add the coated drumsticks to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Carefully remove the drumsticks from the oil once cooked and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free crispy fried chicken drumsticks hot with your choice of sides, like coleslaw or mashed potatoes.
