Spicy Fried Chicken Drumsticks
Ingredients
  • 8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
  • 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Put the chicken into a resealable plastic bag and add hot sauce. Mix the contents thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly, remove any excess air from the bag, and seal it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours if you prefer a spicier dish.
3
Prepare the oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In another resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt.
4
Add the marinated chicken to the bag and seal it again. Gently shake the bag to distribute the coating evenly.
5
Fry the chicken in the preheated deep fryer, uncovered, and turning occasionally until it reaches a golden brown color, crispiness, and the juices run clear, taking around 25 to 30 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone to check if it has reached a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
