How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover air fryer chicken drumsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 375°F air fryer for 4-5 minutes.

Notes and Tips

Pat the skin dry before coating the drumsticks in the baking powder and seasonings. This helps to remove excess moisture and gets them super crispy. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. The drumsticks should be in a single layer otherwise they won’t cook evenly. Cook them in two batches if needed. Check that the chicken is cooked through by using an instant-read thermometer. It should register at 165°F. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, this will help them to get nice and juicy.
