Ingredients
- 2 packets Kee Song organic chicken drumettes approximate 14 pcs, each 500g
- 2 L oil for deep frying. Sufficient to fully submerge the chicken
Sauce ingredients
- 50 g butter salted
- 150 ml Frank’s hot sauce
- ½ tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
Batter ingredients
- 100 g plain flour
- 30 g cornflour
- 4 g baking powder
- 160 g water
- ½ tsp salt
- 20 g cooking oil
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the batter and let it rest
- In a bowl, add in plain flour, corn flour, baking powder and salt. Stir mixture and gradually add in water. Alternate direction of stirring to prevent the gluten from developing.
- Add oil into the batter and continue stirring to combine. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Coat the drumettes evenly
- While the batter is resting, remove the drumettes from the chiller and let it sit at room temperature for 30 mins. By doing this, it ensures the chicken will be cooked through.
- Optional: you may marinate the chicken with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper while it is resting.
- Coat the drumettes with the batter evenly.
Step 3: Heat up the oil and fry the chicken
- Pour oil into the saucepan and heat oil to 190 degree Celsius. Ensure the oil level is sufficient to cover the drumettes.
- Fry 5 drumettes at a time for 10 to 15 mins until it turns slightly dark brown. Cooking them in small batches ensures the chicken are well cooked inside and evenly crispy on the outside.
- Remove the drumettes from the saucepan, allow the oil to return to 190oC before adding the next batch.
Step 4: Heat up the sauce, toss and ready to serve
- Pour the sauce ingredients into the pan. Stir on low heat to combine.
- Add in the drumettes, toss till drumettes are coated evenly and glossy. Serve immediately.
- Optional: You may reheat the drumettes at the oven on 200 degree Celsius.
