Method

6 steps. Read it through before you start.

  1. 01
    Get set

    Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken.

  2. 02
    Season

    Pat the drumsticks very dry. Toss with the rub and oil.

  3. 03
    Air fry

    Cook at 190 °C in a single layer for 20 to 22 minutes, turning halfway.

  4. 04
    Make the glaze

    Simmer the glaze ingredients in a small pan for 2 minutes until syrupy.

  5. 05
    Glaze

    Toss the hot drumsticks in the glaze. Return to the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.

  6. 06
    Finish

    Scatter sesame and spring onion.
