Air Fryer Satay Chicken Drumsticks
Chicken drumsticks cook so well in the air fryer and get super crispy! I love this Thai satay marinade paired with it as well. These are easily prepped ahead of time and left to marinate for a few hours or even overnight.
What you will need
2 lbs Chicken Drumsticks
1 stalk Lemongrass, optional
1 Lime
3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Curry Powder
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
