In a large bowl, pour 1 cup of buttermilk over the 8 chicken drumsticks. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
Remove the drumsticks from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the coated drumsticks to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir in 1 cup of hot sauce and heat until warmed through, mixing well.
Place the fried drumsticks in a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce and butter mixture over the drumsticks and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks, if desired.
