Ingredients
4 Servings
- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g black pepper
- 500 ml buttermilk
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- cooking spray
- 5 g garlic powder
- 30 ml hot sauce
- 5 g onion powder
- 10 g paprika
- 5 g salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a rack on top.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken drumsticks on the prepared rack. Spray generously with cooking spray to ensure even browning.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
