Air fryer chicken drumsticks, an easy and delicious main course. Chicken thighs are very popular with kids, and you can add potatoes to make it a complete meal. I like roasted chicken thighs with a nicely cooked and crispy skin; if you prefer them softer, just reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes. You can prepare the chicken thighs in advance and reheat them when serving, to save some time. The cooking time of the air fryer chicken drumsticks may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use. This is the AIR FRYER I use.

How to Make Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks
Let’s start preparing the Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks. Place the chicken drumsticks in a bowl, add extra virgin olive oil, and massage them to coat well.
Add the white wine and lemon juice, then sprinkle with herbs and paprika. Massage well to ensure the thighs absorb the flavors. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6/8 hours. Occasionally, take the chicken out of the fridge and stir to ensure they are well seasoned.
Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket neatly and brush them with the marinade juice. Cook for 10 minutes at 392°F, remove the basket, flip the drumsticks, brush again, and cook for another 10 minutes at 392°F.
Open the air fryer basket, brush the drumsticks again, and continue cooking for another 20 minutes at 356°F.
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer basket and serve them hot.
