This is my first of many public service announcements that everyone needs an air fryer. Seriously. There is nothing you cannot do in this thing, and Jared will forever get credit for the best Black Friday purchase to date. The air fryer is cooks up meat that is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, it cooks up frozen things to a perfect crisp in minutes (never again touch your oven for those frozen chicken nuggets or french fries), and you can also air fry veggies and dehydrate fruits! It’s a real winner.

The other great thing about this recipe and the air fryer in general is that whatever you make in there is pretty hands off and super fast. So it’s perfect for weeknight meals. All you have to do for this amazing chicken dish is coat your drumsticks with your favorite seasoning mix (my favorite mix is in the recipe below) and some olive oil, throw them in your air fryer at 400F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through and that’s it!
