Firecracker Fried Chicken

I remove the skin from the chicken to make this a bit healthier!

Remove skin from chicken. Place drumsticks in a ziploc bag and pour in hot pepper sauce. Seal bag and knead contents to coat all drumsticks. Let marinate in fridge for 2-24 hours, depending on desired spiciness.

In separate plastic bag mix flour, cornmeal and salt. Remove chicken from pepper sauce and shake in flour mixture. Fry in pan of heated oil. Cook uncovered 25-30 minutes turning occasionally, til golden brown and juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Drain on paper towels.
