How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Drumsticks

1. Stage

In a large bowl, toss chicken, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons oil. Working in batches if necessary, in an air-fryer basket, arrange drumsticks, spacing about 1/2" apart. Cook at 400° for 10 minutes.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, cook garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon oil, stirring, until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, paprika, and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce coats back of a spoon, about 10 minutes (you should have about 1 cup sauce). Transfer half of sauce to a large heatproof bowl; reserve remaining sauce for serving.

3. Stage

Toss chicken with sauce in large bowl. Return chicken to air fryer, discarding any excess sauce left in bowl, and continue to cook at 400° until chicken is cooked through and charred in spots, 7 to 10 minutes more.

4. Stage

Arrange chicken on a platter. Top with parsley. Serve with reserved sauce alongside.
