How Do You Cook Drumsticks In An Air Fryer
For standard sized drumsticks it takes 25 minutes at 400ºF. You want to cook the chicken until it reaches 165ºF internal temp. Just toss once during the air frying process.
If breading your drumsticks, do so before air frying. If you are making saucy legs, toss with the sauce towards the end.
