  • 1/2 large egg
  • 1 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour divided, *
  • 3 cup canola oil *
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 3 tbsp Heinz ketchup
  • 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the coating:

1

In a bowl, stir 1 tbsp lemon juice into the 1/2 cup whole milk to coagulate the milk.

2

Add 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp ginger powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp mustard to the milk. Whisk well.

3

Beat 1/2 large egg into the milk mixture. Whisk well.

4

Continue to add 3 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 tbsp breadcrumbs. Whisk until well combined.

Marinate and fry the chicken:

1

Dip 26 oz boneless chicken drumsticks in the coating batter. Then, coat them with the remaining all-purpose flour. Cover, set aside, and let them dry for 15 minutes.

2

Heat 2 cups of canola oil in a non-stick skillet over high heat. Reduce to medium-low when it's hot enough to make the oil sizzle.

3

Fry the chicken for 17 minutes on all sides (we work with 2 drumsticks for each frying batch).

4

Transfer the fried chicken to a clean plate lined with a paper towel to drain the oil.

5

Serve hot with ketchup and side dishes.
