Ingredients

  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • Marinade/breading
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Combine chicken, mayonnaise and seasonings. Make sure the chicken is coated well, and marinade overnight.
  • Heat oil in a cast iron pan. When the oil bubbles around a pair of wooden chopsticks, fry the chicken.
  • Keep heat on medium, or medium-low. Turn the chicken when half-way done, or about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve hot.
