Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 cup of bbq sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons of red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoons of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of dried coriander
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the spices together (excluding the BBQ sauce).
  • Add the chicken into the bowl and rub each one generously with the spice mixture.
  • Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow it to marinate.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 360°F (180°C).
  • Place the chicken in a air fryer tray and cook for 15 minutes, flipping the chicken over every 8 minutes or so.
  • Take the tray out of the oven, and carefully baste the chicken with bbq sauce using a spoon to rub it in.
  • Place the baking tray back in the oven and cook for another 7 minutes.
  • Open the air fryer to see if the bbq drumsticks are crispy enough for you, and heat them for a couple more minutes if you wish.
  • Serve while warm.
