Notes
Use similar size chicken legs so they cook evenly.
Adjust the salt and pepper quantity to suit your taste.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Arrange drumsticks in a single layer and leave spaces between them.
There's no need to preheat the air fryer, however, if you do, the chicken might cook a couple of minutes quicker.
Cook time will depend on the size of the drumsticks and the type and brand of the air fryer. I advise if trying a recipe for the first time, check on it a few minutes before recommended time and adjust accordingly.
