To prepare Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks, start by thoroughly cleaning the chicken legs, removing any remaining feathers.
Finely chop the rosemary leaves and a few sage leaves with a knife. Place the herbs in a bowl and add salt and some black pepper.
Place the chicken legs in a bowl, massage them with the herb mixture, salt, and pepper, then lightly coat them with extra virgin olive oil.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F) for about 2 minutes. Place the seasoned chicken legs in the basket and cook for 30-40 minutes according to your preference, making sure to turn them occasionally.
When the Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks are cooked through and nicely golden, remove them from the basket and serve. They pair perfectly with Italian Green Sauce (Salsa Verde), a traditional herb-based sauce commonly served with grilled meats.
