Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
• 2 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken drumsticks and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.

Step 3

Remove the chicken drumsticks from the buttermilk mixture and let any excess liquid drip off. Reserve the buttermilk mixture for later use.

Step 4

Add 1/2 cup of water to the reserved buttermilk mixture, stirring to thin it slightly. This will be used for a double-dip coating process.

Step 5

Dredge each drumstick in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip it back into the buttermilk mixture, and return it to the flour mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well. Repeat this process for all drumsticks.

Step 6

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Maintain a steady temperature using a kitchen thermometer.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated drumsticks into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for 12-14 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 8

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the fried chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauces and sides. Enjoy!
