Notes

  • Be careful while adding salt ,as you'll add salt to buttermilk and also to the seasoning. And also soya sauce contains salt.
  • Adding Rice flour is optional , but I recommend as it helps to give a very crisp coating.
  • If cooking on stove top , use 2 tablespoon of oil , for baking just grease the baking tray and arrange chicken drummettes.
  • If cooking on stove top , prefer to use Non stick pan.
  • You can also deep fry this instead of grilling & baking, always deep fry it on medium to high heat.
  • If you don't have a combination cooking on your oven, bake it for 15 minutes and grill for last 5 minutes in the same temperature 220 deg celsius. 
  • For spice sauce seasoning , Use ½ tablespoon of oil ,in case if you are baking/grilling the chicken.
