Air fryer chicken drumsticks are tender and juicy with a sweet and spicy glaze.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 Skinless chicken drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
Sauce
- ½ cup Apricot preserves
- ¼ teaspoon Red chili flakes
- ½ teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley for garnish minced
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season evenly with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket and air fry at 380*F for 10 minutes. Flip chicken over and continue air frying for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the apricot glaze. To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add apricot preserves, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
- Remove the air fried chicken drumsticks and coat with the apricot glaze and return to the air fryer basket. Air fry again for 2 more minutes at 380*F. Test to make sure that chicken reads 165 degrees on a digital thermometer.
- Remove the apricot glazed chicken drumsticks, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
- The glaze is optional, but delicious. You can also brush with BBQ sauce instead, or use another flavor of preserves like orange or blackberry.
- Depending on the air fryer you have, you may need to preheat - check your manual for instructions.
- The recipe was made with a 3 quart air fryer in mind. If yours is small, you may need to cook chicken in smaller batches.
