I was having a terrific craving for chicken wings--it happens about once a year. I didn't want all the calories of traditional buffalo wings but I thought perhaps wings baked with a rub would do. But this story has a sad ending--the grocery store had no wings. None at all. Not a single wing.
But they had drumsticks! Okay, they're not wings, but you've got to admit, they're a little easier to eat and there's more meat on them. I went searching for a recipe that had a nice flavorful rub and found this one somewhere on the web. The amounts for the rub are for the original amount of chicken legs. If, like me, you are doing fewer legs, reduce the rub accordingly.
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tbsp. sweet paprika
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt
& pepper to taste
16 small chicken drumsticks (3 to 4
lbs.)
Olive oil spray
Set air fryer for 400 degrees and preheat for about 10 minutes.
Make the rub: Combine brown sugar, paprika, coriander,
chili powder, garlic powder and salt and
pepper to taste. (Use a bowl large
enough to accommodate your quantity of chicken legs.)
Pat your chicken legs dry with paper
towels and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Add to bowl with spices and toss to coat.
Place in air fryer and bake for 10
minutes. Turn and bake 10 minutes more or
until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
(Timing may vary according to the size of your drumsticks.)
To bake in oven:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place drumsticks on a rimmed baking
sheet. Turn after ten minutes and check
temperature after another ten minutes.
