    I just did some drumsticks last night.

    before you start, make sure you have a tin can or glass jar for oil disposal.

    soak your meat in buttermilk for several hours. shake with heavily seasoned flour. <- this is where your “recipe” will come in. Salt, pepper, whatever kind of herb mix you like. allow to rest for a while so the flour sticks. preheat oven to 350°F in a large frypan put in enough oil for about an inch of depth. don’t use olive oil. vegetable oil is fine, others will give a different taste. other common ones are peanut oil and crisco shortening. heat the oil over medium-high until it is around 375°F fry chicken in batches until brown. turning pieces after 3 or 4 minutes when the pieces are brown all over, put each on a rack over a sheet pan (or just a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper) bake chicken until done to 165°F, maybe 20 minutes

    you can also do “oven-fried” which isn’t quite the same, but gives good results without the mess of the oil.
