Ingredients:
- Chicken Drumsticks (or other cuts of chicken)
- Milk (for soaking)
- Flour (for coating)
For the Seasoning Mix:
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
Instructions:
- Soak the Chicken:
- In a bowl, place the chicken drumsticks and cover with milk. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This helps to tenderize the chicken and gives it moisture.
- Prepare the Seasoned Flour:
- In another bowl, mix the flour with all of the seasonings mentioned above. This is the coating for the chicken that will give it flavor and crunch.
- Coat the Chicken:
- Take each piece of chicken out of the milk and dip it into the seasoned flour. Make sure to coat each piece evenly, pressing the flour into the chicken to ensure the coating sticks.
- Fry the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan (about 350°F/175°C) to fry the chicken. Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and fully cooked (about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces).
- Drain and Serve:
- Once the chicken is crispy and cooked through, remove it from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel. Serve hot!
