Air Fryer Kentucky Fried Chicken Drumsticks

Steps

1. Whisk the three eggs together until smooth.
2. In a large bowl, combine two cups of plain flour with the following seasonings: 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon thyme, 1/2 tablespoon basil, 1 tablespoon celery salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon ground mustard, 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons garlic salt, and 1 tablespoon ground ginger. Stir until well combined.
3. Season the five chicken drumsticks with sea salt on both sides.
4. Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then remove any excess liquid.
5. Next, dip the wet drumstick into the seasoned flour, coating it thoroughly. Repeat this process (dip in egg, shake off excess, dip in seasoned flour) until all five drumsticks are coated.
6. Lightly spray or brush the coated chicken with olive oil on both sides.
7. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
8. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and spray it lightly with more olive oil.
9. Air fry for a total of 20–26 minutes, checking the internal temperature at the 20-minute mark. If the drumsticks are larger or haven't reached an internal temperature of 165°F, continue cooking in 6-minute increments until they reach 165°F.
