Air-fried chicken without breading

Air-fried chicken without breading

Wouldn't it be so nice to make fried chicken without all the added mess? Let me show you how that's absolutely possible. Today, I am preparing air-fried chicken legs. For this recipe, I use a mixture of spices to make an all-purpose seasoning mix. (The recipe for the all-purpose spice mix is included down below.) I don't use flour, eggs, milk, or any type of cooking oil. The drumsticks are amazingly delicious! The chicken skin is crispy on the outside with its seasoned crust, and it stays moist and juicy on the inside.

Note: If you don't have an air fry oven, you can bake the chicken in a conventional oven or a convection oven and still get the same results.

Ingredients: 

  • 12 chicken drumsticks

  • 2-3 tablespoons of my all-purpose seasoning mix (see the ingredients below).

All-purpose seasoning mix ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon of ground coriander

  • 1½ tablespoons of red cayenne pepper flakes

  • 1 tablespoon of dill seed

  • 1 tablespoon of minced onion

  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons of smoked paprika

  • ½ teaspoon of crushed fennel seeds

  • 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar 

  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil

  • 1½ teaspoons of dried parsley flakes

  • ½ teaspoon of thyme

  • ½ teaspoon of ground mustard

  • ½ teaspoon of celery flakes

  • 1½ teaspoons of cumin powder

  • 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder

  • 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt

  • 2 tablespoons of freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon

Instructions for seasoning:

Add all the spices together and combine well. Then store the seasoning inside a spice container or jar.

Instructions:

Now, pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the all-purpose seasoning over each drumstick. (I used about two and a half tablespoons of it.) Then allow the chicken to rest for at least thirty minutes. 

Place the drumsticks in your air frying basket. Allowing space in between the pieces of meat. Air-fry the chicken legs at 400 degrees F for 25 minutes. (If needed, turn your drumsticks midway through the cooking process.)

Serve and enjoy!

Growing Vegetable Plants in Rockwool Cubes

Growing Vegetable Plants in Rockwool Cubes Hey there, fellow gardeners! Today we're going to talk about a cool way to grow your own vegetables using rockwool cubes. It may sound fancy, but it's actually pretty simple and fun. Let's dive in! What You'll Need: First things first, you'll need some rockwool cubes . These are like little sponges that help your plants grow strong and healthy. You'll also need some vegetable seeds, a tray to hold the cubes, and water. I personally use these hydroponic grow trays with dome lids. Step 1: Soak the Cubes Before you plant your seeds, you'll need to soak the rockwool cubes in water. This helps them absorb moisture and provides a good environment for your plants to grow. Step 2: Plant Your Seeds Once your cubes are nice and soaked, it's time to plant your seeds. Make a little hole in the top of each cube and drop a couple of seeds in. Some seeds are so tiny and I generally end up planting more than two in each cube. ...
