Sumac Chicken Recipe - Air Fryer
juicy sumac spiced chicken that's perfect for weeknight dinners!
Servings 4
Equipment
- an Air Fryer (see recipe notes for baking instructions)
Ingredients
- 8 Skin on Chicken Drumsticks
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 tsp Allspice (can sub with ¾ tsp garam masala)
- ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Sumac (+ extra for sprinkling)
- 1 ¼ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 6 cloves Crushed Garlic
Instructions
- Mix all the marinade ingredients (from olive oil to garlic) in a bowl and set aside.
- Cut diagonal slits into your drumsticks and then rub them with the marinade.
- Leave to marinade in the fridge for at least 4 hours, overnight is always best. Tip: If you are in a rush then increase the cumin powder, sumac, and garlic for stronger flavour.
- Take the chicken out from the fridge half an hour before cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer on the Air Fryer mode (390F), wait a few minutes then pop in your chicken air frying it for 20-25 minutes until the skin takes on that succulent crispy hue.
Notes
- While I always air fry these friends have baked it at 350F for 45 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered. If you insert a knife in the meatiest part then it should go through easily and the juices in the drumsticks should run clear
