Recipe Tips\/Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you make these air fryer chicken drumsticks, have a read through this recipe tip section:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • People sometimes use the words chicken leg and drumstick interchangeably. However, technically speaking, drumsticks are only the lower part of the leg – and don’t include the thigh. So if you are planning to make a full chicken leg (drumstick and thigh) in the air fryer, your cook time will be longer than indicated in this recipe!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your exact blend of spices can obviously vary. We don’t like these drumsticks too spicy but if you do, cayenne pepper is a popular spice to double down on for some kick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • For the drumsticks to get crispy on the outside, be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer tray. If you want to make more drumsticks (or have a smaller air fryer), cook them in two batches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Since you’re working with raw chicken, make sure that the insides are cooked through. You can always test one drumstick by cutting it open or use a meat thermometer to be sure. Chicken should have an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
