Honey Fried Chicken Drumsticks!
Ingredients
- For the drumsticks:
- 2-2 1/2 pounds of Small Chicken Drums
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup water
- About 1/2 cup of real Honey
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 quart buttermilk optional
- Salt Pepper, and Garlic & Onion Powder (to taste)
- Peanut Oil for frying
Instructions
- Take your Chicken Drumsticks and place them into a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, cover and allow them to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. (optional but recommended)
- In separate large bowl, add in the eggs, water and Honey. Whisk until combined.
- In a large freezer bag combine the flour, pepper, paprika, and cayenne and mix well.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk (if you chose to do this step) and sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder.
- Place chicken drums in freezer bag with flour mixture. Shake until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Remove pieces one at a time, shaking excess flour. Dip each piece in the egg/honey mixture, and return to bag of flour. After all pieces of been dipped in the egg mixture and put back in the bag, give it a second shake to coat drums again.
- Heat your oil in deep fryer or deep pan to 350 degrees
- drop each drum, in batches, about 6 at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown, turning occasionally if oil does not completely cover the drums.
- Place on wire rack so excess oil drips off.
- ENJOY!
