Crispy Fried Chicken
Create crispy fried chicken using expired flour, ensuring food safety through proper frying techniques.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup expired flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the expired flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Dip each chicken drumstick into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken drumsticks in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the coated drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the chicken drumsticks in the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pot.
Fry the chicken for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally.
Transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining chicken drumsticks.
Serve the crispy fried chicken hot with your favorite side dishes.
