📝 Ingredients

• 4 chicken drumsticks
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp dried garlic
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp white or black sesame seeds
• salt and pepper to taste
• vegetable oil for greasing

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Take a large bowl and pour in the mustard, honey, and soy sauce. Add in the dried garlic and minced ginger. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper for seasoning, though remember you can adjust this later if necessary. Stir everything together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and consistent marinade.
2. 2Place the chicken drumsticks in the bowl with the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure each drumstick is coated.
3. 3Let them marinate for 30 minutes. If time permits, you can leave them for a few hours or even overnight in the refrigerator.
4. 4Preheat your air fryer to 360ºF (180ºC). Remove the drumsticks from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade. Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket. You can grease the basket with vegetable oil if desired.
5. 5Air fry at 360ºF (180ºC) for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time for even browning. You can also brush the drumsticks with the remaining marinade.
6. 6While the drumsticks are cooking, toast your sesame seeds in a dry skillet for about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
7. 7Once the drumsticks are finished cooking in the air fryer, remove them and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve the Asian-style chicken drumsticks immediately
