To save time, use my homemade chicken seasoning mix on all your chicken dishes!
You can also prepare the chicken by placing all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag and shaking the bag till the chicken is well coated.
Let the chicken legs thaw to room temperature to get rid of excess water before frying in hot oil for best results.
Place the chicken drumsticks on a wire rack if you have one to collect excess liquid as it drains.
