Spice Mixture
-
In a shallow bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, baking powder, and spices.
-
Preheat AirFryer to 390°F (200°C) (or don’t preheat it and just fry the chicken 2 minutes longer).
-
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, shake off excess buttermilk, and dredge the drumsticks in the seasoned flour mixture to coat on all sides.
-
Put the chicken in one layer in the Air Fryer basket and air fry for 10 minutes.
-
Then pause the AirFryer and brush drumsticks with melted butter on both sides. Turn the chicken over, lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and air fry for 7-10 more minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F (79°C). Depending on the Air Fryer you use this time can be longer or shorter. Always make sure chicken is completely cooked through.
-
Remove from Airfryer and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
