- 240 g flour
- 5 g garlic powder
- 30 ml hot sauce
- 5 g onion powder

Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken drumsticks and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

In another bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the drumsticks in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 6
Air-fry the chicken at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 75°C (165°F) to ensure it is fully cooked.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy air-fried chicken!
