Instructions

• In a bowl or measuring cup, mix 2 cups Italian dressing, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 cup hot sauce until combined.
• Place the 12 chicken drumsticks in a large zip-top bag or nonreactive container. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, seal the bag (or cover the container), press out excess air, and gently toss or turn to coat all pieces. Refrigerate for a few hours or up to overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Pour out and discard the marinade. Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels to help them brown (optional but recommended).
• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3–5 minutes if your model recommends preheating.
• Arrange the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between pieces for air circulation. If they do not fit in a single layer, cook in batches.
• Cook at 400°F for 20 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, shake the basket or flip each drumstick to promote even browning.
• Reduce the air fryer temperature to 325°F and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of a drumstick reaches 165°F.
• Transfer the drumsticks to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
