Chinese-style salt and pepper chicken drumsticks

This dish infused with Asian flavors is great for a meal with friends.

Ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
about 2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 fresh hot red chile peppers, seeded and
sliced into strips lengthwise
bunch of scallions (green onions), sliced on
the diagonal
lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).Lay the chicken in a bamboo or other steamer basket. Place the steamer over a pan of boiling water, cover, and steam for 10–15 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan, and let cool slightly.
2. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Use to coat the chicken. Then place the drumsticks
in a roasting pan with 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, and cook for 10–15 minutes until completely
crispy and golden. 

3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the chiles and
scallions, and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. To serve, sprinkle the scallion mixture over the hot drumsticks, and garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing.
