Out of breadcrumbs or looking to try a new recipe for breading drumsticks? Try this recipe using pancake mix and dill pickle juice. The best part? We fried it for extra crispiness.

Pancake Mix Fried Chicken

Heat canola oil to 325 degrees in a heavy-bottom 6-quart stockpot. 

Meanwhile, combine egg whites, dill pickle juice, and Tobasco sauce in a shallow bowl. Combine pancake mix, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in another shallow bowl. 

Dip chicken drumsticks, one at a time, in egg white mixture followed by pancake flour mixture; shake off excess flour. 

Fry chicken, a few at a time, in hot oil 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and chicken reaches 165 degrees. Drain on paper towels.
