Air Fryer Masala Chicken Drumsticks

| Air Fryer Recipes, In My Kitchen, Low Carb Recipes, What's Cooking

Masala Chicken Drumsticks are one of the tastiest Air Fryer chicken I’ve ever made! Crispy outside, juicy tender inside and it’s naked! (That means No breading and it’s so crunchy)
Air Fryer Masala Chicken Drumsticks
For this simplest recipe, I marinated chicken drumsticks for 1 hour using Masala Spice mix. It’s a delicious Indian 10-spice mix that consists of spices like Chili, Coriander, cumin, garlic, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, clove, pepper, and nutmeg. The directions are right on the box and you just need to add a couple of extra ingredients to create the marinade.
 
What is Masala taste like? Is it spicy?
Did you notice the list of spices I mentioned above? Yes, all these natural and beautiful spices are in Masala, with the addition of ingredients list below. I would describe the heat level as Medium, 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 marinating the drumsticks in Masala sauce for 30-60 minutes. The longer you marinate, the spicier and saltier they may come out, in my opinion. So start small.

6 pc Chicken drumsticks, Skinless
2 Tablespoons Masala Spice Mix.
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Yogurt or sour cream
