Chicken drumsticks recipe in airfryer

Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a recipe for roasted chicken thighs in the airfryer, tasty and easy to prepare!

There are many recipes with chicken or turkey thigh, whether with honey, mustard, fried, roasted in the oven, stews, orange, with beer...

I used to cook boneless, skinless thighs in the oven, but now I leave the skin on.

Now I prefer the recipe for air fryer chicken thighs without oil that it is faster and easier to prepare.

It is also a healthy recipe that you can include in your diet if you are a fitness person.

To make it cheaper, it is better to buy a whole chicken and make a couple of cuts to bone it yourself.

This recipe for air fryer chicken thighs without oil can be replicated for turkey thighs.

If you have bought a whole chicken for the breast and you don't know what to do or how to cook the thighs, this is your recipe.

I recommend you try other air fryer chicken recipes like the soy chicken and cherry tomato recipe or the air fryer chicken wings recipe

If you fancy something sweeter, try the recipe for homemade cheese flan in a airfryer

Tips for a good recipe for chicken thighs in a airfryer

• I like to crush the garlic and rosemary so I don't have to chew them, but it's up to personal taste.
• It is important to make the cuts in the drumsticks so that they cook well inside
• If you want, you can add 2 more minutes on each side at 200 ºC so that they brown a lot on the outside.
• I have used a special oven paper for air fryer but you can put normal or aluminum paper
• A squeeze of lemon can also be good on top
• If you want a chicken with more flavor and you have time, let it marinate with the mixture for a couple of hours.
