Ingredients
 

  • 950 g chicken drumsticks (about 14 pcs)

Seasoning

  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp chicken powder
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 pcs egg
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder (Optional)
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • 2 tsp rosemary (Optional)
  • 2 tsp basil (Optional)
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp yogurt

Crust mixture

  • 20 g fine breadcrumb
  • 60 g coarse sweet potato starch (or use all purpose flour or cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Cut along the bone at the bottom of the drumsticks with a knife. Marinate with the seasoning for at least 3 hours or even overnight
  • Place the coating ingredients into a plastic bag. Add the marinated drumsticks to the bag and shake until the drumsticks are fully coated with the mixture.
  • Arrange the drumsticks evenly on a baking sheet and brush them with oil.
  • Air fry it with 180°C/350°F for 18-20 mins
  • Or oven roasted with 220°C/425°F for 25-30 mins

Notes

Tips and notes
1 Place the drumsticks with the cut side down on the baking sheet. This side won't be crispy, but it won't significantly affect the overall taste. For a more refined result, turn the drumsticks over in the last 10 minutes of baking to ensure they become crispy all over.
2 The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven's performance. Adjust accordingly to achieve the desired results.
3 If the drumsticks are getting too browned halfway through baking, you can cover them with aluminum foil to continue baking.
4 Adding yogurt makes the chicken more tender, juicy, and crispier skin. Without it, the flavor may not as good as expected
5 The drumsticks can be marinated in advance, and just before eating, simply coat them with the crust mixture and bake, making it incredibly quick and convenient.
