Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 chicken drumsticks, bone-in, skin removed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large Vidalia onions, peeled, quartered and thinly slice
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons rum
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken and pat dry. In a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken in 1 layer, mix together the lemon juice, brown sugar, oil, garlic, paprika, garam masala, ginger, turmeric, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven. Bake until the chicken reaches 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 35 minutes.
  • While the chicken bakes, warm the butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Saute, cooking slowly, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Stir in the raisins and rum, and use a wooden spoon to loosen any onion bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, leaving just the rum scented flavor, about 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. When the chicken reaches 150 degrees F, spoon the onion-raisin mixture over the chicken. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, then return chicken to the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, uncovered. The chicken will be fully cooked when it reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or cold.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
8 chicken drumsticks (about 2 pounds), skin on
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
3 cups cornflakes, crushed to yield 1 1/2 cups crumbs (about 4 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons mustard. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat, then set aside.

Fry the pieces in 2 batches, turning halfway, until richly golden brown and crisp and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (avoid touching bone), about 15 minutes. (Turn the heat down if browning too fast.) Transfer the drumsticks to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt. Keep cooked drumsticks warm in the oven while frying the second batch. Serve immediately with the honey mustard.

FRIED DRUMMIES



Fried drummies image

I'm sorry to say I don't really have measurements for the seasonings. I cook most of the time by eyeing my seasonings, but when it comes to fried chicken, seasoning should be to preference. These are rough measurements ,but I think they're pretty close.

Provided by Tiphane Fleming

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon pepper
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp plus 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
3 lb chicken wings
1/2 tsp accent
1 egg
oil for deep frying.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the flour and 1 tbsp each of first four seasonings.
  • 2. After cleaning and cutting your wings (or you can leave them whole), add the remaining seasonings to the chicken along with the accent and egg. Mix well. You can do this an hour or more before cooking if you want it to marinade for a while.
  • 3. Coat chicken in seasoned flour and deep fry at 375' or medium-high heat for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest drumsticks possible: Fresh drumsticks will have a pinkish hue and firm flesh. Avoid drumsticks that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Use a good quality oil for frying: A high smoke point oil, such as canola oil or vegetable oil, will help prevent the drumsticks from burning. Avoid using olive oil, as it has a low smoke point and will burn easily.
  • Season the drumsticks generously: A good rub or marinade will help the drumsticks develop flavor. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Fry the drumsticks in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the drumsticks to steam instead of fry. Fry the drumsticks in batches of 4-6 at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
  • Cook the drumsticks until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 10-12 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the drumsticks are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the drumsticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Fried drummies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and crispy dish that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give fried drummies a try!
