Recipe:
Tried these sticky air fryer chicken drumsticks and they turned out so good I had to share. Super simple, but the flavor is insane – sweet, savory, a little spicy, and that sticky glaze hits perfectly.
I also shaped them into “lollipops” and it made them way more fun to eat 😄
* Cut the skin and tendons around the narrow end of each drumstick and remove that part
* Push the meat down to form that “lollipop” shape
* Wrap the bone ends in foil
* Mix all the sauces together with the salt
* Coat the drumsticks really well in the sauce
* Air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 10 minutes
* Take them out, brush with more sauce
* Put them back in for another 8–12 minutes until sticky and caramelized
They come out super juicy with that glossy, sticky coating… honestly hard to stop eating.
Anyone else doing this sauce-before-air-fryer method? I feel like it makes a big difference.
