Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

olive oil for brushing
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 (4 ounce) chicken drumsticks
1 cup baby spinach leaves, stems removed
¾ cup sour cream
¼ cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, smashed
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Brush an air fryer basket with olive oil.
  • Combine garlic, honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, cumin, paprika, oregano, and pepper in a large bowl. Add drumsticks; toss to coat. Arrange drumsticks vertically in the prepared basket, leaning against the basket wall and one another.
  • Cook in the air fryer at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the drumstick reads 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes. Rearrange drumsticks with kitchen tongs halfway through cooking for even cooking.
  • Meanwhile, combine spinach, sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno pepper, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; process until crema is smooth. Drizzle some crema sauce over drumsticks and serve with remaining crema.
