It’s FRIDAY!!! And here in Wisconsin that normally means fish fries, but instead, today we’re having Double Crunch Chicken Drumsticks!

And guess what? You guessed it didn’t you. I made them in my air fryer! Just the same as I made these shrimp, this chicken, and these baked potatoes.

But don’t worry, if you want to make them in your oven, I’ve included the temp and timing in the notes section of the recipe card at the bottom of the post. All you oven-lovers, I got you!

The foundation of the recipe is really the seasoning. Believe it or not, it’s Panko that gives the chicken such a nice crunch – and the handful of seasonings make the chicken so flavorful and delicious!

So I bet you’re wondering why I call these DOUBLE Crunch Chicken Drumsticks. It’s because halfway through cooking time you put ANOTHER coating of the Panko mixture on top of the chicken. Good idea, huh?

When serving the chicken, I like to sprinkle some fresh parsley over the legs – the pop of color is just so nice.

You want to take a bite, don’t you?

I don’t blame you. I do, too.

Yep, quite amazing if I do say so myself. Pass the coleslaw, please. 🙂 You have to try these!!
