Ingredients

  • 6 pieces of chicken drumsticks
  • 2 cups of buttermilk
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Tortilla chips
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, guacamole, black olives

Directions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  2. Prepare the Breading: In another bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
  4. Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes per batch. Make sure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Drain on paper towels.
  5. Assemble the Nachos: Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on a large serving platter. Top with fried chicken drumsticks.
  6. Add the Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken and chips. Add dollops of sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges and any optional toppings you prefer.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and the cheese is melted. Enjoy with extra lime wedges and your favorite dipping sauces.

This Nolita Nacho Chicken is sure to be a hit, combining the heartiness of fried chicken with the fun and flavor of nachos. Enjoy
