Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, soak chicken drumsticks in buttermilk for at least 4 hours or overnight for extra tenderness.
2. Prepare the Coating
Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
3. Coat the Chicken
Remove chicken from buttermilk and dredge in the flour mixture, pressing to ensure an even coating. Let rest for 10 minutes.
4. Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Chicken
Fry chicken in batches for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Drain & Serve
Remove chicken from oil and place on a wire rack to drain. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
