The easiest and tastiest Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks. Keep this great recipe on rotation with your family. Only three simple ingredients. Absolutely delicious!

Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

I am the cook, my husband is the grill man. With his work hours, it is sometimes hard to get family dinner to the table on time and still have the taste of a grilled entree.

The Air Fryer has been incredibly helpful to this dilemma. It is healthy. It is quick and easy. It is all done from my kitchen counter. If you want the lovely taste of fried chicken but don’t want all the fat associated with it, these easy air fryer chicken legs are you solution. Only 3 ingredients and you can have your air fryer drumsticks cooked in 40 minutes time. Insert. Cook. Walk away.

Ingredients for Chicken Drumsticks

These incredibly easy Air Fryer Italian Drumsticks only have three ingredients.

Chicken Drumsticks Ingredients:

6 Drumsticks
Italian Seasoning Packet
1 Stick Butter (Melted) – Follow this melting butter trick in our Backing Hacks and Tips.

We recommend you have Italian Seasoning as a staple in your kitchen pantry. This one is frugal friendly. As a guide, use two tablespoons of Italian seasoning dry mix in place of one packet of Italian seasoning mix.

If you like our Ceramic Rae Dunn Salt and Pepper Cellars, you can grab them here.

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.
