Ingredients
-
olive oil for brushing
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, grated
-
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
-
½ jalapeno pepper, seeded
-
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-
1 clove garlic, smashed
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
-
Brush an air fryer basket with olive oil.
-
Combine honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, 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 drumstick reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes. Rearrange drumsticks with kitchen tongs halfway through cooking for even cooking.
-
Meanwhile, make sauce: Combine spinach, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; process until crema sauce is smooth.
-
Drizzle some crema sauce over drumsticks and serve with remaining crema.
