Equipment
- air fryer
Ingredients
- 8 Chicken Drumsticks
- 3 tbsp Peri Peri Sauce (store-bought)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
- Lemon Wedges (for serving)
- Fresh Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the drumsticks completely dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk together the peri peri sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Add the drumsticks and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for the best flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380F. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer with space between them. Air fry for 12 minutes.
- Flip the drumsticks, brush with any remaining marinade from the bowl, and increase the temperature to 400F. Air fry for another 8-10 minutes until the skin is charred and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 175F.
- Let the drumsticks rest for 3 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
