Place the prepared chicken drumsticks into a large mixing bowl. Add the chili powder, black pepper, salt, ginger garlic paste, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with the chicken, ensuring the marinade gets into all the cuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 1 hour.

After the marination period, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Crack the egg directly into the bowl with the chicken. Add the all-purpose flour and corn flour. Mix everything well until each chicken drumstick is fully coated with the egg and flour mixture.

Heat approximately 3 cups of vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the drumsticks halfway or completely for even frying.
