METHOD :
Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce (if using), salt, and pepper. Add the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum flavor).Prepare the Coating:
In a separate bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.Coat the Chicken:
Remove the drumsticks from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating.Heat the Oil:
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).Fry the Chicken:
Carefully place the drumsticks in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).Drain & Serve:
Remove the drumsticks and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
