Instant Pot Frozen Chicken Drumsticks Ingredients:
  • 4 Medium Frozen Chicken Drumsticks
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tsp Garlic puree
  • 1 Tsp grainy mustard
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp parsley
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a cup/240ml of water into the bottom of your instant pot inner pot. Add your steamer basket or air fryer shelf. Add frozen chicken drumsticks. Season the frozen drumsticks with salt, pepper and parsley. Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 20 minutes on manual pressure cook.
  2. Load seasonings into a small bowl and mix.
  3. When the instant pot beeps, manually release pressure. Brush your seasoning over the skin of your just cooked chicken drumsticks.
  4. Crisp. Replace the instant pot lid with the air fryer lid. Set the time to 10 minutes with a temperature of 260c/500f. Then you will have crispy skin. If it is not crispy enough for you, add a little extra virgin olive oil spray and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Finish. Use kitchen tongs to remove the chicken drumsticks as they will be very hot. Load onto plates and serve with your favourite sides.

Notes

  • Warning. If using the air fryer crisp lid, they get incredibly hot. Be careful when removing it from the instant pot and place it on a heat mat.
