Air Fryer Chicken Drumstick Recipe

The hottest gadget in the kitchen over the last year has definitely been the air fryer. We love experimenting with recipes taking an air fryer twist and they definitely feel a lot healthier!

Here's a suggestion for chicken drumsticks that makes the most of this great value cut of meat. 

Ingredients

900g Springfield Organic Chicken Drumsticks

1 Large Crushed Garlic Clove

3 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup

1 Tbsp Olive Oil

1.5 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar

2 Tbsp Dark Brown Soft Sugar

1 Tbsp Paprika

1 Tsp Ground Cumin

Salt and Pepper for Seasoning

Method

1. In a large bowl, toss chicken, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, in an air-fryer basket, arrange drumsticks. Cook at 200°c for 10 minutes.
2. Place a small saucepan over medium-high heat, cook garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon oil, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce coats back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Transfer half of the sauce to a large pyrex bowl; reserve remaining sauce for serving.
3. Toss chicken with sauce in large bowl. Return chicken to air fryer, discarding any excess sauce left in bowl, and continue to cook at 200°c until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 7 to 10 minutes more.
4. Serve with parsley garnish and remaining sauce
