Cajun Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients:
3 eggs
80ml water
250ml hot red pepper sauce
1L flour
10ml pepper
10ml paprika
15ml cayenne pepper
900ml buttermilk
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste
1 kg chicken drumsticks
Peanut Oil, for frying

Method:

Place cut-up chicken in a large bowl, and cover with buttermilk. Cover and chill for two hours, or overnight.

In a large bowl, add eggs, water, and red pepper sauce. Whisk until combined.

In a large gallon freezer bag, mix flour, pepper, paprika, and cayenne.

Remove chicken from buttermilk and sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Place all chicken pieces in freezer bag with flour mixture. Shake until all pieces are evenly coated.

Remove chicken pieces one at a time, shaking excess flour. Dip each piece in the egg mixture, and return to bag of flour. After all pieces of been dipped in the egg mixture and put back in the bag, give it a second shake to coat chicken pieces again.

Heat oil in deep fryer or deep pan to 180˚C. Working in batches, drop each piece of chicken into the hot oil. Fry for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown, turning occasionally if oil does not completely cover chicken. Keep in mind that dark meat chicken takes longer to cook than white meat.
