Method

7 steps · 45 min

01
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the 10 chicken drumsticks with 1 tablespoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground pepper, and 2 tablespoons hot sauce, mixing until each drumstick is thoroughly coated. Let the chicken sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
02
Make the Batter
While the chicken marinates, prepare the batter. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon gochugaru. Slowly whisk in the 1 cup water until the mixture is smooth.
If the batter seems too thin, add a little more cornstarch or flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it has a thick, pancake-like consistency. Let the finished batter sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
03
Heat the Oil
Heat the oil on medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or pot. You'll know it's ready when a small drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
04
Coat Chicken in Batter
Once the oil is hot, transfer about half of the marinated chicken drumsticks into the prepared batter, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
05
Fry the Chicken
Remove the chicken, one piece at a time, from the batter, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Carefully transfer the coated chicken into the hot oil. Fry the chicken until it's deep golden brown and cooked through, which should take about 12 minutes per batch. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot, frying in batches if necessary to maintain oil temperature.
06
Drain Fried Chicken
Once fried, transfer the chicken pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil and cool slightly.
07
Serve
Serve the spicy fried chicken immediately with 1/2 cup sweet chili dipping sauce on the side, or any sauce you prefer.
