6) Crispy Panko Air-Fryer Drumsticks

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks about 2 lbs
  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs or panko
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. Pat drumsticks dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk in one bowl. Mix panko, Parmesan, and spices in another.
  3. Dip each drumstick in egg, then press into panko mix to coat well.
  4. Place drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don't crowd them.
  5. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Cook at 400°F for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until internal temp reads 165°F.
  6. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. I always sneak one while they cool.
