Start by rinsing the chicken drumsticks under cold water.

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and drumsticks, ensuring they are fully covered and marinate.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F.

Remove drumsticks from the buttermilk and let excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture.

Carefully place the coated drumsticks in the hot oil, cooking in batches.

Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.

Once cooked, remove the drumsticks and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
