Air fryer marinated chicken drumsticks

Step 1

Mix the oil, spices, herbs, chicken bouillon, salt and lemon juice (if using) Then set aside.

Step 2

Pat chicken dry. Pour Marinade over the chicken in a bowl, mix till all the drumsticks are evenly coated in the marinade.

Step 3

Cover with cling film, or transfer to ziplock bag then let drumsticks marinate for 2 hours up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. (30 mins is ok if you are in a hurry, however a longer marinating time will yield a tastier result)

Step 4

When ready to cook, you can either let the chicken sit on the counter for up to 30 mins to come to room temperature before air frying or you can cook immediately.

Step 5

Transfer marinated chicken to air fryer basket or tray, Cook at 400°F / 200°C for 25 to 30 mins flipping half way through cooking time. Smaller drumsticks will cook in less time. The internal temperature should be at least 165°F / 74°C to be considered fully cooked and safe to eat.

Step 6

Enjoy as is or serve with your favorite side dish. See blog post for suggestions.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C / Gas Mark 6

Step 8

Place chicken on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 mins or until cooked through and internal temperature reads 165°F / 74°C. Remember to flip chicken half way through cooking time.
