Recipe Preparation
- 5 chicken drumsticks
- 10 oz beer
- 14 oz all-purpose flour
- 3.5 oz cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
- 3 tsp salt
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Step Description
1
Place the drumsticks in a bowl with bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Pour in the beer and marinate for at least 2 hours.
2
In a clean bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, oregano, chili powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Divide the mixture into two portions. In one portion, add water and eggs to make a thick batter. In the other portion, add just a small amount of water to create a crumbly, coarse flour coating.
3
Take each marinated drumstick, coat it first in the thick batter, then roll it in the coarse flour mixture.
4
Heat vegetable oil to 340°F (171°C). Use a ThermoPro TP510 Oil Thermometer to make sure the temp is right. Fry the drumsticks for about 5–10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
