Troy really loved these. Didn't have cornmeal so I just added some breadcrumbs instead. We used Franks Red Hot Sauce. It wasn't spicy, but tasted like hot sauce. Really tender.

Loved this chicken! A change from regular fried chicken. Followed directions exactly. Only used 4 drumsticks as there are just two of us, and the only other ingredient that I halved was the hot sauce. I allowed the chicken to marinate for only one hour as my BF does not like spicey food. Just a hit of sauce. We decided next time to marinate for 2-3 hours. You could taste the sauce, but not the heat. Had no problems with the breading falling off. Just allow the side to get crispy before turning and keep oil hot. Copied this recipe and put in my recipe box immediately after super!!

Used Franks Red Hot Sauce and left out the cornmeal. Yummo!! The sauce wasn't overpowering but you could still taste a hint of it.

I marinated in hot sauce for atleast 36 hours and you really couldn't taste the heat. I would have rather just made fried chicken or baked chicken and put hot sauce on it. It was kind of a waste of hot sauce. I also didn't like the yellow cornmeal, it gave the crust kind of a rough texture rather than crispy. I did have some trouble with the breading sticking but I think that was my fault because this was my first time making fried chicken at home. Will keep looking for the right recipe and practicing!!! Thanks for the practice.

Definitely good, not over the top, though. I marinated for almost 24 hours and it had a little kick but not much. It did have nice flavor. I might make it again, if I get a request, but the frying was a lot of work and a lot of mess.

I made this recipe a second time and it came out much better than the first. I only marinated it for two hours, but I added lots of cayenne pepper with the flour and also with the marinade. The egg wash worked very well and next time I'll add the seasoned salt to see what kind of flavor and kick comes out of that combo.

I followed the recipe but somehow my chicken came out pretty gross. The coating did not taste good and on medium high heat they were done in way less than 25 mins, and even then they got burnt on one side. I would not try this recipe again.

My whole family liked this! I did make a few changes. I marinated the chicken legs with skin in hot sauce & Chili powder for 2 hours, rubbing the marinade under the skin as well. Then made an egg wash with milk & eggs, then made a breading with flour, garlic salt & chili powder. I deep fried it first to get a crispy brown skin, then baked it for about 15 minutes on 400 degrees & it turned out great! Will definitely make again! Though next time I may try skinless boneless chicken breast cut in strips. Served with hot sauce & butter dip & ranch! YUM!!!

Where's the heat??? I marinated for 8 hours and couldn't detect any spiciness at all. I used Tabasco and would have thought it would have some punch. As fried chicken goes, it was okay, but we were disappointed that we had to get liberal with the Tabasco at the table in order to tickle our tastebuds.

These were awesome. My fiance said that this is his new favorite chicken wing. The only downfall is that I didn't marinate these long enough (only 2 hours), so there was only a hint of the hot sauce on the chicken. I actually used a 3 lb bag of chicken wings and multiplied everything else by 4. I added a little paprika and cayenne pepper to the flour mixture, and I deep fried the chicken. I was nervous about putting so many chicken wings in the bag to coat, but it coated them very well. This is a great, fast technique. I heated up some hot sauce with butter (equal amounts of each)and some garlic powder and pepper on the stove for dipping in fear that they wouldn't be hot enough since I didn't marinate them long enough. We dipped our chicken in the hot sauce mixture and also had a side of ranch for dipping. I will definitely make these again, but next time I will marinate them for at least 24 hours.

This was not a healthy dinner. My family and I like spicy, but, this wasn't that spicy after marinating for 8 hours. I even added Red Hot to the egg/milk mix before dipping it in the cornmeal breading. I also am not a fan of frying and the breading didn't stay on even after dipping in the egg mix. I won't make this again.

Never tried frying drumsticks before. Easy recipe. I used tabasco sauce and a deepfryer. It only took 13 min for me at 375 degrees.

Awesome recipe. I marinated the chicken for about 18 hours, but it wasn't spicy at all. Great flavor, but not spicy. That was fine with me as I had assumed I wouldn't be able to eat these (made them with my fiance in mind). I made an egg wash with 1 egg, a splash of milk, and a little garlic powder. I also added cayenne pepper and black pepper to the flour coating. I coated in flour, then egg, then flour again. I was nervous as this was my first time frying chicken, but it turned out very well! Thank you, I'll make these again soon!

This recipe was pretty good, I forgot to remove the skin so it wasn't as "firey" as I had hoped, but still a keeper!

These are good & easy to make. Everyone ate them & no one complained. We were all looking for something with a kick to it though. You could taste the marinade but not the spiciness of it.
