🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Marinate the Chicken

Mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, turmeric, soy sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. Coat the chicken drumsticks well and let them marinate for at least 2–4 hours.


Step 2 – Prepare the Coating

Combine flour, corn flour, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and paprika in a separate bowl.

Dip each marinated drumstick into the dry flour mix and coat evenly. For extra crispiness, double coat if desired.


Step 4 – Fry Until Golden

Heat oil on medium heat and fry drumsticks for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.


Step 5 – Serve Hot

Remove from oil, place on paper towels, and serve immediately while crispy and juicy.
