Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 pounds chicken drumsticks
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick's Grill Mates Montreal Chicken Seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking oil spray

Instruction

  • Drizzle the chicken with the buttermilk. You can place the chicken in a bowl or in a Ziploc bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  • Add the panko breadcrumbs to a bowl with the chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir. 
  • Dredge the buttermilk chicken in the panko breadcrumbs mixture. Spray both sides of the chicken with cooking oil.  
  • Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes on 380 degrees.
  • Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. Cook the chicken for an additional 10-14 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use your judgment for how long the chicken should cook. I like to ensure my chicken has a crispy exterior, in addition to reaching the appropriate internal temperature.
  • Tip: If you notice the chicken has formed a crunchy brown crust on the outside but needs more time to cook internally, lower the temperature on the air fryer to 350 degrees and continue cooking the chicken until it reaches the appropriate internal temperature.
  • Cool before serving.
