Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk

Cooking Tips:
- For best results, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Use a deep-fry thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature (350°F) before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken, as this can cause the temperature to drop and result in soggy chicken.

1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
2. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
3. Dip each chicken drumstick in the buttermilk, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
5. Carefully place the chicken drumsticks in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
