I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. Sometimes I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks--the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!

Tips for Making Firecracker Fried Chicken Drumsticks:

  • Choose the right chicken drumsticks. Look for drumsticks that are evenly sized and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid drumsticks that are too small or too bony.
  • Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade. The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure the chicken is completely coated before you cook it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, and it will end up being soggy.
  • Cook the chicken until it's golden brown and crispy. The chicken is done cooking when it's golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce. Firecracker fried chicken drumsticks are great with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
