Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks, skinless

0.25 cup hot pepper sauce

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

0.33 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal

0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Prep all ingredients.

Place chicken drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag, pour in hot pepper sauce. Toss to coat and remove excess air; refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours for extra spice.

In a separate bag, mix flour, cornmeal, and salt. Shake the marinated drumsticks in this mixture to evenly coat.

Heat oil in a large skillet or fryer until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry chicken uncovered for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy. Check that the juices run clear and an instant thermometer reads 74°C (165°F) at the bone.

Serve hot with your favorite side dish.
