Fried Chicken Drumsticks with crispy texture of bread crumbs.
Ingredients:
For the marinade-
4 chicken drumsticks (legs),
1 tbsp lemon juice,
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste,
1/4 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tsp red chilli powder,
1/2 tsp roasted cumin (jeera) powder,
2 tbsp yogurt, beaten,
Salt to taste.
For coating-
Bread crumbs,
1 egg; beaten,
Salt to taste.
Other-
Oil for frying.
Method:
Make slits to the drumsticks so that marinade penetrates deep into the chicken. Mix together all the ingredients of marinade and apply properly to the drumsticks. Let the chicken marinate for atleast 2-3 hours. For best results marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat oil in a frying pan on medium flame. Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Dip wach drumstick into the egg and then roll into the bread crumbs to coat well, then again dip into the egg and then roll in the bread crumbs. Coat all the drumsticks similarly and then place them in oil. Reduce the flame and let the chicken cook. Keep stirring occasionaly to fry the chicken evenly from all sides. When the drumsticks have cooked and are nice brown in color, drain on absorbent paper towel and serve hot.
