Cooking 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.
Tips
