Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb / 670 g chicken drumsticks 4 drumsticks
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Honey Soy Marinade

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl, until honey dissolved.
  • Combine the marinade and drumsticks together in a large bowl or bag. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • Preheat air fryer to 350°F/180°C
  • Place chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket and cook for 22-27 minutes, turning once.
  • Once the drumsticks are golden and cooked through (Note 1), remove from the air fryer and let reset for 5 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds (if desired) and serve warm.

Notes

  1. Cooked chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C. This can be measured using a meat thermometer. The chicken will continue to cook for a little bit, while resting, after being taken out of the air fryer.
