Steps for Preparing and Cooking Air Fryer Roasted Chicken Drumsticks:
Place the chicken drumsticks in a baking dish, season with salt, and add a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, sage leaves, and rosemary, and if you like, some sweet paprika.
Use your hands to thoroughly massage the seasoning into the chicken drumsticks. If you prefer, you can blend the sage and rosemary (or use dried spices) so the spices adhere to the drumsticks and are more flavorful.
Transfer the chicken drumsticks onto the air fryer rack without overlapping them (this will ensure more even cooking).
Cook at 375°F for 30/35 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. Once done, cook for a few more minutes with the grill function for perfect browning.
Advice:
We used only chicken drumsticks; alternatively, you can use chicken thighs. Follow the same method but increase the cooking time by at least 10 minutes.
