– Chicken Drumsticks – Olive Oil – Chicken Seasoning – Garlic – Cilantro – Lime – Sour Cream – Chile Lime Seasoning
Cut chicken drumsticks down the length of the bone, but not through it, and open them like a book. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and cumin, massaging spices into the meat.
Let marinate for 1 hour if possible. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook chicken for 15 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend garlic, cilantro, lime juice, sour cream, salt, and chile lime seasoning in a food processor. Adjust seasoning to taste. Drizzle cilantro sauce over cooled chicken before serving. Enjoy!
