Ingredients
No main ingredients listed.
Chicken
- 5 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 3 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp chili flakes
Instructions
- 1Make two deep cuts along the bone on each chicken drumstick to allow the seasoning to penetrate and promote even cooking.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil; toss until every piece is evenly coated.
- 3Preheat the air fryer to 392°F (390°F). Arrange the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket.
- 4Air‑fry the chicken for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F) and the skin is golden and crisp.
- 5While the chicken cooks, prepare the Bang Bang sauce: whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, sweet chili sauce, honey, lime juice, and chili flakes until smooth.
- 6When the chicken is done, brush each drumstick generously with the Bang Bang sauce, ensuring an even coating.
- 7Return the sauced drumsticks to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce becomes sticky and lightly caramelized.
- 8Remove the chicken from the air fryer, let it rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with your choice of side.
