Steps to Prepare Air Fryer Chicken Drumstick Grill:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior. Make Butterfly cuts in the Drumsticks.
Step 2: Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together Salt, Red Chili Powder garlic powder, Smoked Paprika, Ginger Powder, Garlic Powder, and Onion Granules. Toss the chicken drumsticks in the seasoning mixture until they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour if you have time.
Step 3: Oil Coating
Coat chicken drumsticks with Olive oil. Just a good drizzle will do the job.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s important not to overcrowd the basket to allow hot air to circulate evenly around the chicken. You may need to cook the drumsticks in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook chicken legs at 200 C for 20 minutes. The drumsticks should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful.
- Pro tip: Remember to pat dry chicken pieces to get rid of moisture for crispy result.
- Pro tip: Make deep cuts in the chicken to help seasoning get inside.
- Pro tip: Experiment with your choice of seasoning to alter the taste according to your liking.
