Chef's Note

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. The key to crispy skin in the air fryer is making sure the drumsticks are completely dry before adding the spice rub. If you prefer a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice mix.

    Pat 6 chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels and place in a large bowl.

    Pour the spice mixture over the drumsticks and massage it into the chicken until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, peel and cut 2 large russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

  • 5

    Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.

    Flip the drumsticks and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

    While the chicken cooks, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.

    After the chicken has cooked for 20 minutes total, brush the drumsticks generously with the BBQ glaze and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.

    While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the coleslaw by shredding 4 cups cabbage and grating 2 medium carrots. Finely dice 1/4 cup red onion.

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

    Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion to the dressing and toss until well coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • 13

    Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • 14

    In the same air fryer, cook the potato cubes at 380°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.

  • 15

    Toss the hot potato cubes with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

  • 16

    Serve the BBQ glazed chicken drumsticks with the coleslaw and potato cubes on the side.
