  • Use your hands to make sure that each drumstick is completely coated, including underneath the skin.

  • Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer tray or basket (I lined mine with parchment paper for easier clean up).

  • Air fry at 400°F for 20-30 minutes (or until you reach your desired crispiness), flipping halfway through. An instant read thermometer will register at least 165°F when they're done. If you don't find them crispy enough, feel free to turn the air fryer setting to broil for a few additional minutes.
