How Do You Cook Drumsticks In An Air Fryer

For standard sized drumsticks it takes 25 minutes at 400ºF. You want to cook the chicken until it reaches 165ºF internal temp. Just toss once during the air frying process.

If breading your drumsticks, do so before air frying. If you are making saucy legs, toss with the sauce towards the end.

How Long Do You Cook Chicken Legs In An Air Fryer

Chicken drumsticks cook incredibly fast in the air fryer. Approximately 25 minutes at 400ºF will get you perfectly cooked legs. This times varies slightly depending on the size of the drumsticks.

It depends what you are cooking. Generally speaking, air fried food is healthier because it requires much less oil (if any at all) to get that deep fried affect.

These Air Fryer Chicken Legs are definitely healthier than deep fried chicken legs.

Here are a few air fryer recipes to serve alongside your chicken legs: Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, Air Fryer Parmesan Potatoes or Air Fryer Baked Potatoes.
