AIR FRYER DRUMSTICKS WITH BBQ RUB – These tender and juicy drumsticks with a flavorful, crispy skin will have your guests raving. They’ll never guess how incredibly quick and easy they are to prepare.
Air Fryer Drumsticks with BBQ Rub are one of those dishes that my family couldn’t wait to dig into, and they were not disappointed! They were quickly devoured.
This would be a great dish to serve when having guests over. It makes a good amount, the prep is quick and easy, and it leaves time to prepare other elements for the meal (or take a breather before entertaining). I can already see that I will be making these frequently.
I have an XXL air fryer, so loading 12 drumsticks is no problem. If you have a smaller air fryer, I would recommend cooking the drumsticks in batches.
This recipe could easily be adjusted to cook wings instead of drumsticks. You would just need to shorten the cook time.
Air Fryer Drumsticks with BBQ Rub is delicious served up with potato salad, chips, corn salad, and fruit. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Here’s what you need to make Air Fryer Drumsticks with BBQ Rub…
- Garlic cloves
- Yellow mustard
- Brown sugar
- Chili powder
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
