How to make the perfect sesame fried chicken drumstick that is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside? This is a pretty simple and straightforward spicy fried chicken drumstick recipe. The crust is extra crispy by double-dipping with flour and double fried the drumstick.
Tips:
- Marinate for at least 15 minutes, chicken drumstick takes time to absorb flavour, pierce with a fork to help the meat to soak up the flavour. Marinate in the refrigerator if you increase the marinating time.
- Deep fried at 160°C-170° for 10 minutes. High heat will leave the interior less done while scorching the outer crust. Brown with medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until golden brown if you don’t have a thermometer or deep fryer.
- Double fried for 1 minute for non-greasy and truly crispy chicken.
- Place fried drumsticks on a cooling rack to keep them crispy.
