Ingredients
- 10 chicken drumsticks ~2 lb
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. or 30g ketchup (I used healthy homemade ketchup)
- 1 tsp. ground coriander seeds
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. cajun seasoning
- 1 tsp. BBQ spices or smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the chicken drumsticks in a large mixing bowl or a ziploc bag. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, ketchup and all dry seasonings. Toss with your hands until the drumsticks are thoroughly coated.
- Optional: Marinate the chicken drumsticks for 20-30 minutes at room temperature or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
- Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in your air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the air fryer, flip and cook 8-10 minutes longer until the chicken drumsticks reach an internal temperature of 165°F - 185°F or until no longer pink inside and no bloody spots around the bone.
- Remove from the air fryer, serve, and enjoy!
