Instructions
1/ Marinate the Chicken:
• In a large bowl, place the chicken drumsticks and cover them with buttermilk .
• Let it marinate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for extra tenderness!) .
2/ Prepare the Coating:
• In another bowl, mix together the flour 🌾, salt 🧂, black pepper 🌶️, paprika 🌶️, and garlic powder 🧄.
3/ Coat the Chicken:
• Remove each drumstick from the buttermilk and let any excess drip off.
• Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, pressing it down to make sure it’s fully coated with the seasoned flour.
4/ Fry the Chicken:
• Heat oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat.
• Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry each side for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked through (the internal temperature should be 165°F/74°C) 🌡️.
• Remove the fried chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5/ Make the Honey Butter Sauce:
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Stir in the honey and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully combined and warm.
6/ Drizzle and Serve:
• Place the fried chicken on a serving platter and drizzle the honey butter sauce all over the chicken.
• Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, crispy goodness!
Tip: Add a little extra honey drizzle just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness!
