Let's Cook

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken drumsticks completely dry using a kitchen towel.

2. Make 2–3 shallow cuts on each drumstick to help the marinade penetrate the meat.

3. In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, Kashmiri red chilli powder, paprika, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, turmeric and salt.

4. Add the chicken drumsticks and coat them thoroughly with the marinade.

5. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavour, refrigerate for 2–4 hours.

6. Preheat the Domestica Air Fryer Oven to 200°C for 2–3 minutes.

7. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer on the cooking tray, leaving space between each piece.

8. Cook at 200°C for 20–25 minutes.

9. Turn the drumsticks halfway through cooking for even browning.

10. Lightly brush with oil during the final few minutes if a deeper golden finish is desired.

11. Continue cooking until the skin is crisp and the chicken is fully cooked through.

12. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with lemon wedges and your favourite dip.

Cooking Tips

Pat the drumsticks dry before marinating to help achieve a crispier exterior.

Make shallow cuts in the chicken so the marinade can penetrate deeper.

Do not overcrowd the cooking tray. Leave space around each drumstick for proper hot-air circulation.

Turn the drumsticks halfway through cooking for even browning.

For extra crispiness, cook for an additional 1–2 minutes at 200°C while monitoring closely.

Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the drumsticks. Always check that the chicken is completely cooked before serving.
