Ingredients

• 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 120 ml water
• 1000 ml vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground white pepper, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the water to form an egg wash.

Step 4

Season the chicken drumsticks with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to ensure they are flavorful.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F). To test, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle and turn golden brown in about 1 minute.

Step 6

Dip each drumstick first into the egg wash to coat thoroughly, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Then dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly by pressing the flour mix onto the chicken.

Step 8

Carefully place the coated drumsticks into the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the chicken in batches if necessary.

Step 9

Fry each piece for about 12-15 minutes, or until a deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Turn the chicken occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the Ayam Goreng Tepung hot with your choice of side dishes and dipping sauces, such as sambal or sweet chili sauce.
