About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 5 piece chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Bang Bang Sauce
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
- 1Make two deep cuts lengthwise along each chicken drumstick, cutting close to the bone. This helps the chicken cook evenly and absorb more seasoning.
- 2Place the drumsticks in a bowl. Add salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
- 3Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- 4Air fry at 392°F (390°F) for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and fully cooked.
- 5Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, sriracha, chili flakes, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- 6Generously brush the cooked chicken drumsticks with the Bang Bang sauce, coating them on all sides.
- 7Return to the air fryer at 392°F (390°F) for another 3–5 minutes, until the sauce is hot and slightly caramelized.
- 8Serve immediately with extra Bang Bang sauce on the side.
