Rolled in mayo and dipped in Panko, I LOVE how these air fryer chicken drumsticks get so crispy on the outside while keeping the meat tender, juicy, and full of flavor. They taste like KFC!
INGREDIENTS
- 6 chicken drumsticks, with skin.
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard. I used Dijon with white wine (found at Trader Joe’s)
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ranch Buttermilk seasoning.
- Salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the air fryer is preheating, season your chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Ranch Buttermilk seasoning. Or any other desired spices.
- Then, in a shallow dish, whisk together mayo and mustard.
- Next, in a separate dish, mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. I used Panko breadcrumbs.
- Roll each chicken drumstick in the mayo mixture until coated, then dip in the Panko bread crumbs. Make sure the chicken is well coated in the bread crumbs..
- Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket, making sure that they are not touching each other.
- Air fry for 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
NOTES
When storing air fryer chicken drumsticks, always allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container.
This will help to prevent them from drying out. Reheat chicken drumsticks in the air fryer on medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they're heated through.
And if you really want to ensure that your chicken is as crispy as possible, you can always pop them back in the air fryer for a minute or two before serving. With these simple tips, you can enjoy perfectly cooked air fryer chicken drumsticks any time!
