kfc original recipe chicken drumstick : one of the most American recipes ever, made famous by films and TV series, a trademark for those who love tasty and, of course, quite heavy cuisine. KFC, a historic American chain that deals only with chicken, is “responsible” for much of the attractiveness of fried chicken.since this product is the most purchased worldwide by fast food goers.
kfc original recipe chicken drumstick, we only know that KFC prepares chicken drumstick 12 ingredients : spices and 100% flour, but the rest of the ingredients used have always been top secret.
The secret of this chicken drumstickis the overnight marinating in buttermilk: the buttermilk, which you can find at the supermarket or make at home , softens the meat of the chicken and gives it a slightly sour taste. Furthermore, the buttermilk “purifies” it of any bacteria and that is why once used to marinate the chicken it must be thrown away because it could be contaminated and it is not possible to recycle it. The marinating in buttermilk will ensure that in breading and cooking, the chicken will be soft and tasty. In case you want to cook chicken drumstick faster, just marinate it slightly less – the chicken won’t be as soft as when left in buttermilk overnight, but the result will be just as great.
Among the most interesting variants (similar to the one you see in the photo) is the covering with corn flakes (those for breakfast): just pass the chicken in the cornflakes instead of the flour, for a very crunchy chicken with a unique flavor. However, remember that breakfast cereals contain sugar, so the flavor may be altered.
