Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lbs chicken drumsticks (4-6 pieces)
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Spice Mixture
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp celery salt
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp white pepper
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 3 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Place the chicken drumsticks with the skin on in a plastic bag and pour the buttermilk into the bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes minimum up to several hours.
- In a shallow bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, baking powder, and spices.
- Preheat AirFryer to 390°F (200°C) (or don't preheat it and just fry the chicken 2 minutes longer).
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, shake off excess buttermilk, and dredge the drumsticks in the seasoned flour mixture to coat on all sides.
- Put the chicken in one layer in the Air Fryer basket and air fry for 10 minutes.
- Then pause the AirFryer and brush drumsticks with melted butter on both sides. Turn the chicken over, lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and air fry for 7-10 more minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F (79°C). Depending on the Air Fryer you use this time can be longer or shorter. Always make sure chicken is completely cooked through.
- Remove from Airfryer and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
