Ingredients
- 500 g (1lb) chicken drumsticks
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp salt
For the buffalo sauce
- 1 cup hot sauce
- 1 cup butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/430°F.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. The baking powder is key to getting the chicken to crisp up in the oven.
- Add the chicken and toss to coat, making sure each piece of chicken is completely coated with the flour.
- Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet then drizzle with a few tablespoons of oil.
- Place in a hot oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown then flip over and cook for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown all over and cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, make the buffalo sauce. Combine the hot sauce, butter, garlic powder and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan set over medium heat.
- Allow to come to a simmer and stir to combine then remove from the heat.
- Place the baked chicken into a large bowl then pour over the buffalo sauce (this recipe makes quite a lot of sauce so I keep some back to serve alongside the chicken for dipping) then toss to coat the chicken.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley or spring onion.
