Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.

I like to lay down parchment paper or foil to help with clean up.
-
I also like to use spray oil (avocado oil) on the drumsticks. Give them a spray before you flip them over to help prevent sticking, and give the tops a spritz of oil to help brown.

You can always spritz any floury areas to make them brown.
-
Remember to use your meat thermometer to determine if your chicken is cooked. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F before consuming.
- Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
