Cowboy Butter Chicken by Shewillevolve

Ingredients

• 8 chicken drumsticks
• 1/2 jar pickle juice, enough to cover the drumsticks in a bowl
• 1 tsp chopped dill, plus 1 tbsp for finishing butter
• 2 tbsp Kinder's cowboy butter seasoning, divided
• 1 tsp paprika seasoning
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped dill
• 1/2 tsp salt, optional if needed after brining

Instructions

1. Score the drumsticks with a knife, then place them in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
2. Pour in the pickle juice and add 1 teaspoon chopped dill; brine for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
3. Drain the chicken and pat it dry, then season all over with the cowboy butter seasoning and paprika until evenly coated.
4. Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is browned and the thickest part reaches 165°F.
5. Stir the melted butter with the remaining cowboy butter seasoning, parsley, and dill.
6. Spoon the cowboy butter over the hot chicken right after cooking and serve immediately.
