1If frozen drumsticks are stuck together, rinse quickly under cold water to separate. Do not thaw completely; pat dry with paper towels.
2Prick drumsticks a few times with a fork on top to help even cooking.
3Place frozen drumsticks in the air fryer basket, skin side up.
4Set air fryer to 175°C and cook for 20 minutes. Time may vary depending on size.
5Check internal temperature in the thickest part – it must reach 74°C. If not done, cook 2-3 more minutes.
