Serving Size: 6
Ingredients:
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
12 chicken drumsticks
Crisco shortening (or Crisco stick) for deep frying
Pineapple Sauce:
1 cup green bell pepper chunks
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 tablespoon crisco all-vegetable shortening (or 1 tablespoon Crisco stick)
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in pineapple juice, drained (reserve juice)
2/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Directions:
- Combine egg, water, and milk.
- Combine flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, and baking powder. Add to first mixture and mix until smooth. Dip each drumstick into batter, letting excess batter drain for a couple of seconds.
- Heat Crisco to 350ºF in a deep fryer or a large heavy saucepan. Fry drumsticks in hot Crisco for 14 to 16 minutes or until chicken is crisp, brown, and tender. Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper towels.

Add reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Mix cornstarch into water. Add to sauce until blended, stirring constantly. Add pineapple chunks. Bring to boiling, stirring occasionally. Cook for 2 minutes.
