Ingredients

  • 8 pieces chicken drumettes
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 8 chicken drumettes with 1 tsp salt. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Dredge each drumette in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Fry the drumettes in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve hot with fresh lettuce, tomato, and cucumber on the side.
