Stuffed and Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Today I’m sharing with you a truly special recipe that will impress your guests, STUFFED AND FRIED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS. This recipe was a real hit, literally flying off the plate while I was frying the drumsticks and my friends automatically reached out and grabbed them, so basically nothing made it to the table. Desperate, I had to photograph them, so I made them again the next day and calmly shot the video and photos. Yes, it’s that good. I really recommend trying them; you’ll make them often.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Francesca, a true native of Taranto. I love cooking desserts and traditional dishes, and my inspiration comes from the women in my family. Photography, for me, is about capturing the moment… in a shot, you hold your breath and then start again, savoring every little detail as you develop it. Why Ethra? She was the wife of Phalanthus, the founder of Taranto, the Spartan city. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all… there are already so many of you following me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
