Learn how to make these Whole30 and keto air fryer drumsticks EXTRA crispy and addicting. Oven method is also included in case you don’t own an air fryer!

extra crispy air fryer drumsticks

Crispy chicken drumsticks are very popular in our house. We probably eat it once a week and we just love how flavorful and juicy they turn out every time with the most addicting crispy skin. You truly don’t even need bbq sauce!

I’ve probably cooked chicken drumsticks many different ways, but these crispy chicken drumsticks cooked in the air fryer are always our favorite. If you don’t own an air fryer, no worries. I’ve included oven instructions as well!

How to Make Extra Crispy Air Fryer Drumsticks

Every time I make a skin-on chicken dish with a dry cooking method (without bbq sauce), it’s important that the skin turns out super crunchy. It’s honestly my favorite part when I’m eating it! I’ve found that the high concentrated heat and air circulation of the air fryer makes this possible, along with coating the chicken with baking powder.

I’ve been using baking powder for crispy chicken for a while after reading this excerpt from Serious Eats:

“Baking powder, it turns out, is good for quite a lot more than baking. The slightly alkaline mixture raises the skin’s pH levels, which allows proteins to break down more efficiently, giving you crisper, more evenly browned results. Simultaneously, it combines with the bird’s natural juices, forming carbon dioxide gas that leaves you with a layer of tiny bubbles. It’s these bubbles that increase the skin’s surface area, allowing it to develop a crunchy texture once cooked.”

Serious Eats

Isn’t that super cool? The first time I tried it, I was so surprise at how well it worked and using this method really yields the best air fryer chicken legs!

Instructions for Cooking Drumsticks with the Air Fryer

I have several Whole30 and keto air fryer recipes on the blog and I love using the air fryer so much, because of how fast food can cook in it and it yields a much better texture than a standard oven.

Here’s an easy and quick step-by-step of how to cook chicken drumsticks in the air fryer:

  1. If your air fryer instructions say that it needs to be preheated, make sure to preheat it for at least 5 minutes before cooking.
  2. Coat the chicken drumsticks with avocado oil or olive oil, then with the dry rub spices. The spice combo will also include baking powder which will give the chicken an extra crispy skin.
  3. Cook in the air fryer in a single layer for 20 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through for even cooking. I also try to not have the drumsticks touch each other for more thorough cooking, but it’s not necessary especially if you have a smaller air fryer.
  4. Enjoy right away! They will be the crispest right out of the air fryer.

Instructions for Cooking Drumsticks in the Oven

Don’t own an air fryer? You can also make these crispy chicken drumsticks in the oven and I’ve included instructions for that as well. The skin will definitely be more crunchy and crispy using the air fryer method, but they’ll still turn out delicious!

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, then coat the chicken drumsticks with the same spices and baking powder combo as the air fryer method.
  2. Bake for 40 minutes until the cook through and become golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.

If you are looking for a quick and easy dinner, these low carb and Whole30 chicken drumsticks come together in no time and go so well with various sides. They taste better than any other bbq chicken recipes I’ve tried!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cook raw chicken in the air fryer?

Yes! In fact, the chicken drumsticks in this recipe are cooked raw. By the time they are done, they are tender and juicy in the inside while being deliciously crispy on the outside.

Can you put frozen drumsticks in the air fryer?

Yes, they will take a longer time to cook, but it can be done. However, for this recipe, I recommend defrosting them first so the spices and the baking powder stick to the skin better.

Can you air fry chicken without batter?

Of course. In fact, I wouldn’t consider these chicken to have a batter, since it’s just thin coat of baking powder and spices.

      I have a power XL air fryer and I absolutely love it but I’ve been looking to upgrade to the new power XL vortex. There’s more space in the bottom it comes with grilling racks and it’s supposed to cook more evenly though I’ve never had a problem with my power XL cooking evenly

          I’m not sure what could have happened, but your chicken might have been to wet before you added the spices. You can try patting it dry next time. Also, baking them on a wire rack over the sheet pan may help as well.

    Being from deep GA and learning how to cook from my grandmother and this includes fried chicken and homemade chicken and dumplings, makes me judge all food to that standard. This is by far the easiest and great chicken in no time. I added more seasoning and cooked it a total of 23 minutes and the results were awesome. Thanks for adding and I will cook this again when I don’t want to cook in my cast iron frying pan.

      I have a toaster oven style with a removable base so it’s fairy easy to clean. When I had a basket style air fryer, I just used my handheld vaccuum to suck up as much debris as possible and then wiped it down with a kitchen rag and all-purpose spray.

    This is the first recipe I made in my IP Air Fryer! I had 10 drumsticks and stood all of them up to cook. It took 25 minutes and I rearranged them halfway through. They were perfectly cooked. The spice was a little too heavy on the paprika, but they were a hit with my family. I’m definitely saving and trying this recipe again!

    Didn’t care for this at all. It was extremely salty! All I could taste was salt. I had to tear the skin off to eat it. The skin was crispy though so I’ll keep the baking powder tip and use different spices next time.

    First thing I made in my new air fryer. Excellent flavor. I cooked them an extra 5 minutes as the chicken legs were huge.

    Just purchased 8 qt air fryer. Have not used it yet. Did I go too big?

      I think that’s a personal question. It depends on how many people you regularly feed and how much food you plan to cook in it.

    Cooked perfectly in the Air Fryer. Thought the flavor was very good. Will definitely hold on to this one. Thanks,

    The recipe was quick and easy! Not many problems, except the baking powder? The taste was near unbearable.

      Are you sure you didn’t use baking soda? Baking powder shouldn’t taste like anything and gives the skin a super crispy texture.

    These were delicious! I cooked quite a lot at a time and they were layered/touching each other. However, they still turned out perfectly—crispy and juicy! This is how I’m making these from now on!

    All anyone could taste was the baking soda, all the chicken went in the garbage

      That’s because you need to use baking POWDER. Please do not use baking soda.

      This recipe is amazing when you actually FOLLOW it! You really shouldn’t give a one star review when YOU made the mistake.

    I saved this recipe and of course when I went to make it I didn’t have baking powder. So I improvised with corn starch and it turned out excellent! Air fryers are the best!

    We all loved this recipe – great flavor and very crispy. However, I do wish recipes included table salt measurements if someone doesn’t have sea salt (or kosher salt.) I’m seeing this trend more and more in online recipes. The amount of salt in this recipe is small enough it probably doesn’t matter, but it could make a big difference in other recipes. Yes, I’ve looked for conversion calculators but all I find is charts that never seem to have the exact amount I actually need at the moment.
    I’m going to try your other recipes soon.

    First time making chicken in my Ninja 7 in 1 BBQ Griddle on the Air Fryer Mode and it came out PERFECT. This is fantastic. I subbed smoked paprika for regular paprika b/c I couldn’t find my plain one, and it was pretty tasty too. Thanks for this wonderful trick! I’ll be making this over and over again.
