schedulePrepare in advance
First add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce into 4 chicken drumsticks.
Watch out
Measure the soy sauce and oyster sauce accurately, otherwise the chicken will be too salty or bland.
Then add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and an appropriate amount of white pepper powder.
Watch out
Add white pepper powder moderately, otherwise it will overpower the fresh chicken flavor.
Finally add an appropriate amount of minced garlic.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw meat to prevent cross-contamination; raw meat carries bacteria and touching other ingredients without washing causes contamination.
Wear gloves and massage the chicken drumsticks and all seasonings evenly so every part is coated.
Watch out
Every part must be coated evenly with seasoning, otherwise uneven marinating will leave some areas tasteless.
Cover the bowl with food wrap and put it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight (at least 2 hours or more).
Watch out
Marinating time must be sufficient, otherwise the flavor cannot fully penetrate inside the chicken.
Pour fried chicken powder onto a plate, take out the marinated chicken drumsticks, and coat them evenly with the powder, making sure every part is covered.
Watch out
Every side of the chicken drumsticks must be evenly coated with powder, otherwise uncoated areas will burn or dry out during air frying.
Preheat the air fryer at 180 degrees for 5 minutes. Put the floured chicken drumsticks in a single layer into the air fryer and fry at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
local_fire_department180 degrees, 10 minutesWatch out
Chicken drumsticks must be arranged in a single layer without overlapping, otherwise the overlapping parts will remain undercooked while the surface looks done.
Be careful of burns when moving the hot basket, use heat-resistant gloves if necessary.
Take out the fried chicken drumsticks, and use a brush to apply cooking oil evenly on every part that still looks white and powdery.
Watch out
Oil must be brushed on all white powder spots, otherwise there will be dry white powder residue that ruins the texture.
Use tongs to flip the chicken drumsticks over, and apply cooking oil again on the white powder areas after flipping.
Watch out
Handle gently when flipping, otherwise the outer coating of frying powder will easily fall off.
Put the chicken drumsticks back into the air fryer and fry at 200 degrees for another 15 minutes, until they are golden and crispy.

High heat is used, watch closely in the final stage to prevent burning.
