These Air Fryer Drumsticks are super easy to make and are marinated in a buffalo sauce that you are sure to love. Plus there ready in less than 20 minutes! 

This is one of those kid friendly meals also. I sometimes make large batches of these drumsticks so that I can freeze them and when I am in a pinch I pull them out and serve them alongside a salad. 

They freeze well as long as you started with fresh not frozen drumsticks in the beginning. 

Making for a quick meal option on days where you don’t have much time to cook.

If you love Franks Red Hot Sauce then I guarantee your going to love this simple recipe.

IS AIR FRYER BUFFLAO CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS HEALTHY

Yes, in comparison to other methods of cooking chicken it is.

If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time.

They are more affordable now than ever. Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.

Some people think that an Air Fryer is mostly for people who eat a lot of fried food. 

I admit I once was apart of that group, however I soon realized that if you like to bake foods too. Like I do, then the air fryer really cuts out a lot of the unnecessary fat.

Think of it, how do you typically bake chicken drumsticks or legs? If you are anything like me. You would place it on a pan in the oven and sometimes use a baking sheet to catch the grease.

However with the air fryer it elevates the food and allows all that (FAT) to drip away.
