Notes

  • If you are planning to add hot sauce to the drumsticks, do that after the Air Frying. Just dip them in sauce, and they're ready!
  • You can also make BBQ drumsticks if you like, by cooking the chicken as instructed above for 20 minutes, then brush the chicken with BBQ sauce and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • There are 5 WW freestyle points per Air Fryer chicken leg.
