Open in Pepper →Drumsticks Are The Cheapest Cut Worth Cooking
A pack of drumsticks costs a few dollars and feeds everybody, and the air fryer gets the skin crisp without heating up the whole kitchen. No flipping a pan of hot grease, no waiting on the oven.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights when dinner has to be hands-off — drumsticks in the basket, rice or mac and cheese going on the stove, everyone fed in half an hour.
Every recipe here is built around drumsticks: Chipotle Honey Mustard Drumsticks, Garlic Parmesan drumsticks, BBQ Chicken Drumsticks, Parmesan Crusted Chicken Drumsticks, Bacon wrapped drumsticks, Soy-Garlic Chicken Drumsticks, and a chicken leg dinner with cottage cheese mac and cheese.
Quick Tips
- 1
Pat the skin dry
Blot each drumstick with paper towels before seasoning. Dry skin crisps in the basket instead of steaming.
- 2
Leave space between legs
Arrange 5 or 6 drumsticks in a single layer with room around each one, and cook in two batches if you need to.
- 3
Turn them halfway
Flip the drumsticks around the 12 to 14 minute mark so both sides brown evenly.
- 4
Sauce the last minutes
Brush on BBQ sauce or honey glaze in the final 3 to 5 minutes so the sugar sets instead of burning.
