step by step recipe
- In a bowl, prepare the marinade for the chicken drumsticks before cooking, so they become even juicier. Here we'll add olive oil, white wine, herbs de Provence, garlic powder, paprika de la Vera, pepper, and a little salt. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and let them marinate for at least 1 hour.
- While the chicken is absorbing the flavors, preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes. You can find this option in the menu under the name “Preheat”.
- Drain the drumsticks and place them inside the air fryer. In the menu, we'll find the “Chicken” option and cook at 195°C for 25 minutes. We'll save the leftover marinade because, as any wise grandmother would say: nothing goes to waste here!
- Every 4 or 5 minutes, turn the drumsticks and use a brush or spoon to add a little of the reserved marinade.
- Once the time is up, check that the chicken is cooked to your liking, and if so, you'll have a delicious recipe ready to eat. Be careful not to burn your tongue!
Ingredients
- Depending on the size of the drumsticks and how well-cooked we like the meat, the cooking time may vary. Our advice is to also check the doneness when you're about to brush on the marinade and adjust it to your preference.
- If you prefer, you can also make chicken thighs in the air fryer following the same recipe.
