👩🍳 How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Tikka Drumsticks
Step 1
In a bowl, mix the tikka powder and Greek yoghurt together.
Step 2
Pour the chicken tikka yoghurt mixture over the raw chicken drumsticks and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes, longer if you have time.
Step 3
Transfer the chicken drumsticks to the air fryer basket. If you have a small air fryer you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 4
Set the air fryer temperature to 200°C/390°F and the timer for 22 minutes. Turn the chicken drumsticks over at the halfway mark and check on how they are cooking.
The chicken drumsticks are ready when the skin is crispy, and the juices run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should read 75°C.
Return the chicken drumsticks to the air fryer for a little longer if needed.
