Ingredients
1.5
lbs.
chicken drumsticks
¼
cup
parmesan cheese
1
teaspoon
baking powder
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
½
teaspoon
onion powder
½
teaspoon
chili powder
¼
teaspoon
salt
1/8
teaspoon
ground pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry. I prefer to peel off the skin, you can leave the skin as it will give more crisp to chicken.
In a large bowl, mix chicken drumsticks and baking powder together and set aside.
In 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 drumstick in a single layer. Do not overlap the chicken drumsticks.
Place the basket in air fryer and air fry at 380*F for 24 minutes, flipping through halfway.
Increase the temperature to 400*F and air fry for about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the air fried chicken drumsticks from air fryer basket and place it in a plate.
Serve the crispy garlic parmesan drumsticks with your favorite sauce.
Notes
Pat the skin dry before coating the drumsticks in the baking powder and seasonings. This helps to remove excess moisture and gets them super crispy.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. The drumsticks should be in a single layer otherwise they won't cook evenly. Cook them in two batches if needed.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, this will help them to get nice and juicy.
