Recipe Event – Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

Today we’re using the Instant Pot and the Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid to make quick & easy air fryer crispy drumsticks!

You can use this recipe with any chicken or just drumsticks like I have here. All you need is 8-10 pieces of chicken, plus my special Soul Food Pot chicken seasoning, all included on my blog for this recipe!

Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes – plus my favorite – oxtail Caribbean all-purpose seasoning. Yum!

Now, for my Southern soul food recipe, we use the Instant Pot to soak the chicken in buttermilk – a key ingredient to making a soft, tender chicken!

The Instant Pot allows us to pressure cook seasoned chicken in the buttermilk in a matter of 20 minutes. A much quicker cooking method instead of soaking the chicken overnight or for 24 hours!

This is why I say we’re making Magical Meals In Minutes!

When the pressure cooking time is complete, pour out the buttermilk and add the Instant Pot air fryer lid – or transfer the chicken to an air fryer.

Air fry for 20 minutes for a crispy, fried-like skin – but much healthier!
