Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk unsweetened almond milk with hot sauce in a bowl, then submerge the bone-in chicken drumstick fully to coat.
2
Marinate
Cover and refrigerate 4 hours so seasoning penetrates the meat.

Combine all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, salt, and garlic powder; press the drumstick firmly into the mixture until fully coated.
4
Fry
Heat vegetable oil to 350F and lower in the drumstick; fry 16 to 18 minutes over medium heat, turning halfway, until internal temperature reads 165F.
5
Plate
Drain the drumstick on a wire rack, add the lemon wedge, and serve with extra hot sauce.
