I found this recipe a while back and had to try it. My husband and I fell in love with it. He has to have it at least twice a week. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast in place of the drumsticks - the breasts take less cooking time. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

To Marinate: Remove skin from chicken and place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour sauce over chicken, seal bag and refrigerate to marinate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. The longer the chicken marinates, the spicier it will be.
In another resealable plastic bag combine the flour, cornmeal and salt. Add chicken, seal bag and shake to coat.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet to medium high heat. Add chicken and fry, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until juices run clear. Turn occasionally to brown evenly.
