Preparation
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken drumsticks until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly.
- Remove the chicken meat from the bones and chop it finely.
- Make the Filling: Mash the boiled potatoes.
- Combine the mashed potatoes with the chopped chicken, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Shape the Chicken Legs: Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking.
- Shape the chicken mixture into the form of a chicken leg.
- Press the mixture firmly to compact it.
- Prepare the Breading: In one bowl, whisk the eggs.
- In another bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Bread the Chicken Legs: Dip each chicken leg into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the egg-coated chicken leg in breadcrumbs, ensuring it is fully covered.
- Repeat the process for a second layer of breading for a crispier crust.
- Deep Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully lower the breaded chicken legs into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked chicken legs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as barbecue sauce or honey mustard.
- For extra flavor, consider adding other herbs like thyme or rosemary to the chicken filling.
- You can adjust the amount of breadcrumbs and eggs based on your preference for the breading thickness.
- Be careful when handling hot oil. Use caution to prevent burns.
