Air Fryer Ranch Drumsticks
I always try to do my best to get as much out of my grocery money as is possible. I stock up on essential staples when they’re on sale. I use a list when I shop. I buy larger sizes when they’re more economical. On occasion though, we need some new ideas on what to do with the same old groceries. Air Fryer Ranch Drumsticks are great way to shake up your meal routine. These wings are flavorful and super simple to make. They’re perfect for a meal or a snack. Here’s how to make them.
Equipment Needed
- air fryer oven
- 2x medium bowls
- tongs
- silicone basting brush
Ingredients
- 6 drumsticks
- 1 ranch packet
- 1 stick butter, melted

Instructions
Rinse off the chicken.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a clean towel, making sure you remove all moisture.
Coat each drumstick in butter.

Place the drumsticks into the air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd.

That looks so tasty. I don't tend to buy chicken drumsticks as never know what to do with them
