Instructions

  • Place a cup/240ml of water into the bottom of your instant pot inner pot. Add your steamer basket or air fryer shelf. Add frozen chicken drumsticks. Season the frozen drumsticks with salt, pepper and parsley. Place the lid on the instant pot, set the valve to sealing and cook for 20 minutes on manual pressure cook.

  • Crisp. Replace the instant pot lid with the air fryer lid. Set the time to 10 minutes with a temperature of 260c/500f. Then you will have crispy skin. If it is not crispy enough for you, add a little extra virgin olive oil spray and cook for another 3 minutes.

Notes

Warning. If using the air fryer crisp lid, they get incredibly hot. Be careful when removing it from the instant pot and place it on a heat mat.
