Ingredients

  • 6 medium chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup lager beer

Instructions

  • Mix all of the dry ingredients in a small bowl until they're well combined.
  • Remove the excess moisture from the chicken drumsticks with a paper towel.
  • Place the drumsticks in a bowl and coat them with the spice mixture.
  • Use a skillet or a frying pan and heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully place all of the drumsticks, without overcrowding the pan.
  • Pan fry each drumstick for 4 minutes on each side.
  • Turn the heat down to low and pour the beer into the pan. Simmer the drumsticks for 13 minutes under a lid, then flip them over to cook the other side. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the drumsticks.
  • The drumsticks will be ready when their meat is entirely white without any pink discoloration. You can also use an internal thermometer to check their temperature. Cooked drumsticks should have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Repeat the process if you have a smaller pan or more drumsticks.
