Ingredients (serves 4):
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure the chicken drumsticks are at room temperature before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken, as this can cause the oil temperature to drop and result in greasy chicken.
Instructions:
1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
3. Dip each chicken drumstick in the egg mixture, then coat in the flour mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken drumsticks to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
6. Fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
