Notes

  • Spicy Drumsticks: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
  • Herb-Infused: Mix in some dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano for an earthy flavor.
  • Lemon Pepper: For a zesty twist, use lemon pepper seasoning instead of regular pepper and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the air fryer or oven.
  • The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
