Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ Tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • ¼ teaspoon mixed herbs
  • 4 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep the chicken: remove unwanted fat from the chicken and transfer into a large bowl or Ziploc bag.
  • Make the marinade: whisk olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic granules, mixed herbs, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until combined.
  • Marinate the chicken: pour the chicken marinade over the chicken drumsticks and massage gently with your hand until the chicken is well coated. Allow to sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes to 12 hours in the fridge or more in the freezer.
  • Air fry the chicken: Preheat the air fryer at 390F/195C for 3-5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F/74C flipping it halfway through.
  • Transfer the chicken from the air fryer basket to a plate, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with any side of your choice. Enjoy!
