For an extra crispy skin, pat the drummies dry with paper towels before seasoning. Experiment with different BBQ sauce flavors to find your perfect match. Consider a smoky, sweet, or spicy variety. If your air fryer tends to cook unevenly, shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for the best results.
