Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh chicken drumsticks. If using frozen drumsticks, be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the curry paste, use a food processor or blender to combine all of the ingredients until smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also grate the ginger and garlic and chop the onion and pepper by hand.
- When cooking the chicken, be sure to preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the chicken. This will help the chicken cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken in batches if necessary. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the chicken will not cook evenly.
- To make the curry sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken drumsticks with the curry sauce and your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or naan bread.
Conclusion:
Air fryer crispy curry drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the curry sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
