Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowls
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)

Vegetables

  • 1 yellow squash
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (or cooking spray)

Instructions
 

Chicken

  • In a mixing bowl, mix together the eggs and milk. Add breadcrumbs to a large plate and sprinkle with the seasonings.
  • Start with dipping the drumsticks in the egg wash. Next, dredge them in the breadcrumbs, making sure that they are fully coated. Spray the chicken with cooking spray and place them in the Air Fryer basket.
  • Cook the chicken at 360F for 20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. (Using tongs, flip them half way through the cooking process so that the drumsticks can get golden brown and crispy all around)

Vegetables

  • Meanwhile, slice the squash and zucchini into 1/4 inch half coins. Season them and spray them with cooking oil.
  • After the chicken has cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket and place the vegetables in the basket. Cook them for 8-10 minutes at 360F.
