Step 1
Season the 8 chicken drumettes with 1 tsp salt. Set up three shallow bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Dredge each drumette in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 3
Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Fry the drumettes in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Serve hot with fresh lettuce, tomato, and cucumber on the side.
