Serves: 4Prep: 10 minCook: 30 min

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/2 jar pickle juice (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 tbsp chopped dill, plus 1 tsp for butter
  • 2 tbsp Kinder's cowboy butter seasoning, divided
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Score the drumsticks with a knife, then place them in a large bowl with the pickle juice and 1 tablespoon chopped dill. Brine for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Season all over with 1 1/2 tablespoons cowboy butter seasoning and the paprika until nicely coated.
  3. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, then flip and cook 5 to 10 minutes more until the skin is browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
  4. Mix the melted butter with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cowboy butter seasoning, parsley, and 1 teaspoon dill.
  5. Spoon the cowboy butter over the hot drumsticks right after cooking and serve immediately.
