Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks
Description
Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks combine simple seasoning and barbecue sauce to create a dish with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. The chicken is tossed with olive oil and a mixture of dried spices including garlic and onion powder, black pepper, and parsley, which forms a flavorful base layer. Cooking in the air fryer at 400°F quickly crisps the skin without deep frying. The drumsticks are basted with barbecue sauce twice during cooking, enhancing the flavor and creating a sticky, caramelized glaze. This method cooks the chicken evenly and ensures the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safety. The recipe offers a neat alternative to frying or baking, with less mess and faster cook time. The chicken pairs well with sides like salad, roasted vegetables, or classic potato dishes.
