:
6-8 chicken drumsticks
250 grams all-purpose flour
6 grams garlic powder
6 grams onion powder
6 grams paprika
5 grams cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
500 grams buttermilk
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
**1. Marinate the Chicken:**
1. In a bowl, mix buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place the chicken drumsticks in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
**2. Prepare the Coating:**
1. In a shallow dish, mix all-purpose flour with additional garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
**3. Bread the Chicken:**
1. Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
2. Remove each drumstick from the buttermilk marinade, letting the excess drip off.
3. Roll the drumstick in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's well-coated. You can double coat for an extra crispy texture.
**4. Fry the Chicken:**
1. Carefully place the breaded drumsticks into the preheated oil. Fry for about 1215 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
2. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
3. Remove the fried chicken drumsticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
**5. Serve:**
1. Let the fried chicken drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving.
2. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes.
