Chicken drumsticks are delicious, but they’re also quite tough to eat. You can cook drumsticks in a lot of different ways, but the most common methods include grilling, baking, and pan frying. However, you may not have the proper tools to cook them in those ways. Fortunately, there’s a method that you can use to prepare chicken drumsticks without having to use a traditional grill, oven, or pan. It’s called air frying, and it’s a great alternative to traditional cooking methods.
Make sure the drumsticks are cut to size
Make sure your chicken drumsticks are cut to size before cooking. This will ensure that the chicken stays tender and juicy when cooked in the air fryer.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels
Let’s say you want to use your air fryer to make chicken drumsticks. To do this, simply pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This will ensure that all of the excess moisture is taken away from the chicken, which is key for achieving crispy drumsticks. Next, cut the chicken legs into drumsticks by cutting at the joint. Remove the excess fat on the drumsticks by running a paper towel around the drumsticks. Lastly, season the chicken drumsticks with salt and pepper.
Spray 1/3 cup of olive oil in your air fryer
Put the air fryer to 400 degrees F
