Chicken drumsticks in the air fryer are delicious, flavorful and quick to prepare. The drumsticks cooked in the air fryer can be served with air-fried potatoes or with cooked or raw vegetables depending on your taste. We like the roasted chicken drumsticks to have nicely cooked, crispy skin; if you prefer a softer skin, just reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes. If you want, you can try Pan-roasted chicken, also very tasty and easy to make, a good alternative to using the air fryer. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use — this is the air fryer that I use.

How to make Chicken drumsticks in the air fryer
Begin preparing the chicken drumsticks for the air fryer: place the drumsticks in a bowl, add extra virgin olive oil and massage so that all the drumsticks are coated.
Add the seasoning, chili flakes and salt, and massage well so the drumsticks absorb the flavors.
Add the white wine and the lemon juice. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours; every so often take the drumsticks out of the fridge and mix them so they absorb the marinade well.
Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket and brush them with the marinade juice. Cook for 10 minutes at 392°F, take out the basket from your air fryer, turn the drumsticks and brush them again, cook for another 10 minutes at 392°F, then continue cooking for another 20 minutes at 356°F.
Cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer; in any case they should be well cooked and golden. Once cooked, serve hot.
