More About This Recipe

With a bit of a bite and a lot of crunch, these drumsticks are great for game day or a quick weeknight meal. In my opinion, fried chicken is the best kind. It just gets so crispy and delicious on the outside and stays perfectly juicy on the inside. But frying can be a big setup... all that oil and work.
