Step 1
In a bowl, mix together yogurt, ginger garlic paste, chili flakes, red chili powder, salt, tikka masala, cumin seeds, red food color, and oil until well combined.
Step 2
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade.
Step 3
Cover and let the drumsticks marinate for at least an hour, or even better, overnight in the fridge.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
Step 6
Cook for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.
Step 7
Once done, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your tasty air-fried chicken drumsticks!
Serving Combinations
Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A side of mashed potatoes or rice also pairs well. Don’t forget a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or barbecue for extra flavor.
Leftover Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness instead of using a microwave.
