Let's cook.

01

Step 1

Start by boiling the chicken drumsticks in salted water until cooked through. Once done, take them out and let them cool enough to handle.

Carefully remove the meat from the bones and shred it. Keep the bones aside for now.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with boiled potatoes, capsicum, carrot, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and some fresh coriander. Stir everything together well.

Step 4

Lightly oil your hands and take some of the mixture, then wrap it around each bone, pressing it firmly so it sticks.

Step 5

Make a smooth slurry by mixing cornflour with salt, chili flakes, and enough water. Dip each stuffed drumstick into the slurry to coat it evenly.

Roll the coated drumsticks in breadcrumbs to cover them completely. Repeat this for all the drumsticks.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the drumsticks until they’re golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels, then serve with your favorite dip and enjoy!
