step by step

Method

  1. Score the chicken

    • Pat the drumsticks dry and cut a few shallow slits into the flesh so the marinade can soak in.
    Step 1

  2. Make the yogurt marinade

    • In a bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, grated ginger, grated garlic, tandoori masala, paprika, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, lemon juice and salt.
    • Mix into a thick, richly spiced marinade.
    Step 2

  3. Coat the drumsticks

    • Add the drumsticks to the marinade and rub it all over, working it into the slits.
    • Marinate for at least 30 min if you have time, or cook straight away.
    Step 3

  4. Air fry

    • Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
    • Cook at 200 °C, turning halfway, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
    Step 4

  5. Serve

    • Rest the chicken for a few minutes, then serve hot with lemon wedges and extra yogurt if you like.
