Chicken is always on the weekly menu over here. Whether it’s wings, wingettes, breasts, thighs or drumsticks. My son loves chicken big time so I make sure that we have a chicken to eat every week. We teasingly tell him that he will soon have feathers instead of whiskers if he continues to eat so much chicken. 🙂 But not only one chicken dish on the weekly menu, I do at least one more.
The hubs most favorite is the wingettes, which he makes into hot wings using his own hot wing sauce, a secret recipe he learned years ago when he was working as a bar-back at a local pub. And, of course, being a southern mountain boy, he loves country fried chicken made the way his late mother prepared it. However, much to his chagrin, I removed that recipe from my menu list after he had his heart attack. Health before appetite!
I added this air fryer chicken drumsticks dish on the menu this week. As you already know, if you’ve been around here on the blog, that I’ve been hooked to using my air fryer since I got it. I just prefer cooking in it now than frying with oil. I just love that it’s not greasy anymore. Not to mention, it’s healthier to cook it this way.
So I prepared five chicken drumsticks. I cook in two batches because I don’t want to crowd the air fryer. It’s the best way to do it so the food will cook good.
I have prepared this dish many times already but I just got the chance to share it now. What I love about this dish is it is so easy to make with few ingredients and yet so flavorful. And we usually have this with vegetables and steamed rice as sides.
Below is how I did it in case you want to give it a try.
Can you tell from the photos how delicious those chicken drumsticks are?
Have you tried this recipe before? Do you like using an air fryer too?
Happy Foodie Friday, friends!
This looks amazing! Thank you for sharing the recipe! My husband would love these! Going to have to try them soon!
Now I don’t have to buy the precooked chicken at the deli. This is a great recipe.
These chicken wings look delicious. I have been considering an air fryer. I’m looking for a small one.
I love cooking drumsticks and thighs in our air fryer as they get so nice and crispy and stay juicy on the inside. This recipe sounds delicious!
I plan on making chicken this week. I’ve got a huge back of drum sticks and this sounds super easy to make. I was going to try my favorite marinade as a rub. I’ll have to try both ways. 🙂
Wow! This is such a really amazing recipe! It looks absolutely delicious I love it!
That looks absolutely delicious and tasty! I would really love to try this recipe!
Wow, those drumsticks look delicious! I hope we get an air fryer soon!
That Air Fryer Chicken looks really appetizing. I have an air fryer and have to try your recipe soon.
I really need to get an air fryer. I could see myself using it for everything! These look great.
Oh my goodness! These chicken drumsticks look so crispy but they are healthy! Love it!
I am loving this recipe for chicken made in the air fryer. I am loving mine and use it al of the time but I have not made Chicken in it yet 😉 I will make it soon for my family as it looks so good!
