Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. This ensures immediate browning.
  2. 2. Pat the 400 g chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Never wash them, as this spreads germs.
  3. 3. Rub the drumsticks with the 2 tbsp olive oil. The fat conducts the heat.
  4. 4. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt over them. This draws moisture from the skin for crispiness.
  5. 5. Season with 1 tsp pepper. Distribute the grains evenly over the skin.
  6. 6. Sprinkle 1 tsp thyme over them. This herb gives the classic flavour.
  7. 7. Sprinkle 1 tsp oregano over them. This rounds out the herb aroma.
  8. 8. Rub the spices firmly into the skin. This helps them stick during cooking.
  9. 9. Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t touch.
  10. 10. Cook the drumsticks at 200 °C for 20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
  11. 11. Carefully flip the drumsticks with tongs. The first side is now golden brown.
  12. 12. Cook the drumsticks for another 10 minutes at 200 °C. The skin will now become crispy.
  13. 13. Check the core: No pink meat on the bone, and the juices should run clear.
  14. 14. Let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute in the meat.
  15. 15. Arrange the drumsticks on a plate. The skin should be golden brown and crispy.
