Cooking tips:

- Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F.

2. Pour the milk into another shallow dish.
3. Dip each chicken drumstick into the milk, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
5. Carefully add the chicken drumsticks to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the drumsticks for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the drumsticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the Crispy Golden Drumsticks hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
