Fried Chicken Drumettes

Be the first to review!

These fried chicken drumettes are delightfully crunchy and golden, and they’re really easy to make for a quick meal or a snack. The little drumsticks get a shake of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then they are dipped in beaten egg and thoroughly covered with self-rising flour before being fried. When they’re cooked, they’re all crispy on the outside but wonderfully juicy within. Best eaten warm, they go perfectly with tomato sauce and some fresh tomatoes - a relaxed meal the whole family will love.
