*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed. 
  • Different air fryer models may vary in cooking times and temperature.
  • Cook in batches as needed, I have a Philips XXL which fits 9 drumsticks comfortably.
  • Clean your air fryer basket and tray prior to cooking, otherwise any residual oils and crusts may cause excess smoking from the air fryer.
