Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour so the spices infuse the meat.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 200°C before cooking.
  • Turn the drumsticks halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Check that the internal temperature reaches 75°C to ensure food safety.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid burns.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches 75°C at its core to avoid salmonella risk.
  • Use kitchen gloves when removing the hot basket from the air fryer.
