Ingredients
  

Dredge

  • 2 Tablespoons Cornflower/cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 600 g Chicken Drumsticks

Buffalo Sauce

  • ½ teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Whole Roasted Garlic can substitute for 3 cloves garlic minced or 3/4 tsp garlic powder.
  • 1 cup Hot Sauce of Choosing
  • 2.25 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Optional: Cut off the tips of a whole garlic bulb and then place it on a piece of aluminium foil. Drizzle with olive oil and tightly wrap the garlic up and place into an oven at 190 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Place your drumsticks into a ziplock bag and fill the bag with the rest of the dredge ingredients. Shake the bag well until the chicken is well coated.
  • Place your drumsticks into a parchment paper lined oven dish and spray/drizzle with neutral oil. Bake at 190 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • While Drumsticks bake make buffalo sauce. Add all buffalo sauce ingredients except butter to a pot and whisk together to remove any lumps.
  • Add butter to sauce and cook sauce for 1-2 minutes until everything is melted and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Remove Drumsticks from Oven. Pour the sauce on top of the drumsticks and place back in the oven at 200 degrees for 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy in places. Enjoy.

Notes

This recipe could easily be made in an air fryer but the timing will be different. Complete all the same steps but cook the chicken in the dredge for 12 minutes. Then after adding the buffalo sauce cook for 4-8 minutes until the chicken cooked through. Tip: a knife should easily and cleanly be able to pierce the chicken when it's cooked.
