Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks
Delicious and crispy Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks, a perfect meal for any occasion.
Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese I prefer freshly grated, but pre-grated will also work.
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry. I prefer to remove the skin, but you can leave the skin as is for a crispier result.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken drumsticks and baking powder, fully coating the chicken. Set aside.
- On a plate, combine parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and ground pepper.
- Coat the chicken drumstick with the parmesan herb mix until it is well coated.
- Spray the Air Fryer basket with oil. Place the prepared chicken drumsticks in a single layer. Do not overlap. Cook in multiple batches if needed.
- Set Air Fryer and cook at 380℉ for 24 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Increase the temperature to 400℉ and fry for about 5-6 minutes more.
- Remove the air fried chicken drumsticks from air fryer basket and place on a plate.
- Serve the crispy garlic parmesan drumsticks with your favorite sauce.
Notes
Tips: Pat the skin dry before coating the drumsticks in the baking powder and seasonings for extra crispiness. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, cook in batches if necessary.
