Ingredients
4 large chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
1 tablespoon green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Pat the drumsticks dry, then toss them in olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the drumsticks cook, make the teriyaki sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
- Once the mixture simmers, add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Once the drumsticks are done, toss them in the teriyaki sauce until fully coated.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
