Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine herbs and spices.
  2. Set aside.
  3. Place drumsticks in a bowl or a plastic bag and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Toss to coat.
  5. Sprinkle herbs and spices all over drumsticks to coat them.
  6. Preheat air fryer at 400 for 2-10 minutes.
  7. Place drumsticks in air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes on 400.
  8. Remove basket and flip chicken drumsticks.
  9. After five minutes, lightly brush drumsticks with a layer of sauce. Do not double-dip sauce to prevent cross contamination with undercooked chicken (pour a little bit of sauce, about 1/4 cup, into a dish instead of the whole cup since that is all you will use in this step.)
  10. Cook at 400 for another 5 minutes.
  11. Flip chicken and brush again with more sauce until crunchy and chicken is 165 internal temperature.
  12. Time can vary based on drumstick size, so check the temperature with a digital thermometer after cooking to prevent over or under cooking.
  13. When chicken has reached 165 degrees internally, serve immediately and toss in additional BBQ sauce.

Notes

  • Carbohydrate count is assuming non-keto BBQ sauce. If using keto sauce, assume 5-6 carbs per chicken leg.
