INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F.
Wash the 40 oz drumsticks and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp paprika.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Place the remaining flour into another bowl/dish.
Dip each drumstick into the 1/2 cup flour, then the wet batter, and finally the flour one more time. Shake off excess flour and set aside.
Place the coated drumsticks into the air fryer. Spray them with 1 tbsp oil and cook for 10 minutes. Flip, spray them again with 1 tbsp oil, and cook for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a salad bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp honey. Add 4 oz arugula, 6 oz halved cherry tomatoes, and 0.5 o ricotta, and toss to coat well.
Serve with ketchup.
