Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Italian dressing
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 12 pieces chicken drumsticks

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of Italian dressing, 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 cup of hot sauce. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  2. Add the chicken drumsticks to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Air fry the chicken drumsticks at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  6. Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken drumsticks a day ahead for deeper flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer for even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (75°C).
