Wings are easy, but how does one go about making spicy drumsticks where the spice is in the meat and not just the exterior.
I'm looking to make spicy fried chicken similar to Popeyes, but with a ton more kick.
I marinated a couple drumsticks in buttermilk for 24 hours, then added a hefty portion of pic related to the buttermilk, and am marinating for another 24 hours (I heard the acidic properties cut through the chicken which is why it comes out so tender)
For breading, I'll be using panko breadcrumbs with extra hot old bay, paprika, garlic/onion/chili powder, flour and egg wash.
Is this the way to go /ck/? If not, what are some recommendations for spicy fried chicken?

You could try injecting some kind of spicy marinade into the drumsticks and letting them marinate overnight.
