Firecracker Fried Chicken Drumsticks image

I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks--the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!

Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken drumsticks
¼ cup hot pepper sauce
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Remove skin from chicken and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour sauce over chicken, seal bag, and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the spicier it will be.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt in another resealable plastic bag. Add the drumsticks, seal bag, and shake to coat.
  • Fry the chicken, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until juices run clear. Turn occasionally to brown evenly.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but these were surprisingly good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce had just the right amount of heat.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can't seem to get the chicken crispy. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
