Instructions

Step 1

Make the jerk sauce by putting all of the ingredients in a blender or smoothie maker and blending to a smooth paste. Then if the mixture is too thick and does not blend, add a little more oil to loosen slightly.

Step 2

Next lay the chicken drumsticks in the base of a lidded container, then pour over the sauce and rub into the chicken to ensure everything is well coated. Then cover with a lid and transfer to the fridge to marinate, ideally overnight.

Step 3

Once the chicken is marinated, lay it in the base of the air fryer in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your fryer. And cook at 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the drumsticks halfway through cooking time, until the meat is tender and the juices run clear.

Step 4

So I like to serve mine hot straight from the air fryer. But these air fryer jerk chicken drumsticks are wonderful to serve alongside salads and slaws
