Air Fried Chicken Legs With Honey Mustard Sauce

If you need air fryer recipes that the kids will love, add this one to your list! These drumsticks are slathered with an awesome honey mustard sauce. No need to dip these into anything because they are ‘pre-dipped’.

My daughter loves honey mustard with her chicken nuggets so these are a favorite dinner at my house. And much healthier than drive-thru chicken nuggets.

Plus, air fried chicken is pretty much the juiciest most delicious chicken you will ever eat. Chicken drumsticks are no exception.

How Long Do You Cook Drumsticks In The Air Fryer

This all depends on the size of the drumsticks and what air fryer you are using.

For this recipe I use medium/standard size drumsticks. They aren’t huge or tiny, somewhere in between.

I have used a Power XL Air Fryer and  a Nuwave Air Fryer. The Power XL takes 2-3 minutes less to cook everything. You’ll get to know your air fryer and be able to adjust the cook times for optimal results.
