Masala Chicken Drumsticks are some of the best Air Fryer chicken I’ve ever made! Crispy, juicy and it’s naked! (That means No breading and it’s so crunchy)
For this simplest recipe I marinated chicken drumsticks for 1 hour using Chicken Masala (Murghi) spice mix. It’s delicious and full of spices like Chili, Coriander, cumin, garlic, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. The directions are right on the box and you need to add a couple of extra ingredients.
What is Masala Murghi taste like? Is it spicy?
Did you notice the spice list I mention above? Yes, all these natural and beautiful spices are in Murghi, with an addition of ingredients list below. I would describe it on a moderate spicy side, but not tongue burning. I enjoy my chicken spicy. Not to mention how much I love hot chicken wings. My kids were obsessed with this new Masala drumstick.
I suggest to marinate the drumsticks in Masala Murghi sauce for 30-60 minutes. The longer you marinate, the spicier and saltier they will come out, in my opinion.
You will need:
Chicken drumsticks (4-6 pieces) With or without skin, it doesn’t’ matter

1/2 onion, thinly sliced
