I love fried chicken. But who doesn’t right?
So I found an awesome recipe on Pinterest that I just had to try. A word of warning it has a lot of butter. The first time I made it I followed the recipe to the letter. It was tasty, but I didn’t care for all the butter and it was still soggier than I would have liked.
On my second attempt I did not use butter and I made sure there was a rack in the tray to collect drippings and ensure the skin remained nice and crisp.
I loved how it came out.

Tami’s Notes
You may use drippings from the pan to make a tasty gravy.
Seasoning amounts may vary depending on how many drumsticks you require.
