I love fixing a big batch of chicken drummettes for any casual event. I give my guests a choice of plain or three sauce options. These are a favorite for kids of all ages!
6-8 chicken drummettes
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Oil for frying
Make an egg wash by beating the eggs, buttermilk and hot sauce together in a shallow dish. Mix flour and spices in another shallow dish. Dip drummettes in egg wash then dredge in the flour mixture. For a thicker crust on the chicken, repeat that step again... egg then flour. In a heavy skillet, heat about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of oil to 365 degrees. (Or heat a deep fryer to 365 degrees) Place chicken in hot oil. (If the oil is not up to temp, the coating will not stick. Do not crowd the chicken in the pan or it will boil in the oil and not fry crispy.) Fry for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
Lemon Pepper Sauce
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp minced garlic
lemon pepper to taste
Combine ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer for a couple of minutes. Toss wings in sauce and serve.

These look amazing Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI can hear it crunch from here, and look at those sauces!!
ReplyDeleteI need to get invited to these dinners
ReplyDeleteQuestion for your spaghetti pie (sorry, thought if I commented on it, it may not get seen since it was years ago)...but when you say 1 lb of pasta...do you mean 1 lb of dry or cooked?
ReplyDeleteYou can comment on any recipe post, and I will get an email. The recipe is calling for one pound, cooked, drained and cooled. So, it is one pound dry pasta cooked and cooled.
DeleteWe LOVE wings -- especially when there are great sauces to choose from! I'm dying to try them all!
ReplyDeleteLove wings!! Looks delicious!
