Ingredients
š 8 chicken drumsticks
š§ 1/4 cup butter
š¶ļø 1/2 cup Frank's hot sauce
š 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice (from heavy syrup)
šÆ 1/4 cup honey
š¢ļø Frying oil (enough for deep frying)
Instructions
1- Prepare the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in Frank's hot sauce, pineapple juice, and honey. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is smooth. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
2- Fry the Chicken:
Heat the frying oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350Ā°F (175Ā°C).
While the oil is heating, pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken drumsticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden-brown, crispy exterior. An internal temperature reading should reach 165Ā°F (74Ā°C).
Remove the fried chicken using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
3- Coat the Chicken:
- While the chicken is still hot, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the prepared pineapple honey hot sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the glossy, bright orange-red sauce.
4- Serve:
- Arrange the glazed chicken drumsticks on a serving platter. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy the sweet, spicy, and crispy delight!
