Air Fryer Drumsticks
These Air Fryer Drumsticks are a riff on two Chinese dishes. They're marinated in soy sauce that is combined with a bit of Coca Cola to make a next level glaze.

Ingredients
Method
In a large bowl combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, five spice, and honey. Add the drumsticks and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge.
Let chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, turning the chicken halfway through.
Preheat air fryer to 380º. Working in batches if necessary, add drumsticks to the air fryer, making sure to avoid overcrowding in the basket and to reserve the remaining marinade. Air fry for 10 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and add Coca-cola and place over high heat. Bring to a boil. then reduce heat to medium-low and reduce until sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer sauce to a large heat proof bowl.
Brush drumsticks all over with reduced sauce, flip them and continue to air fry until an instant thermometer registers 165º, an additional 7 to 10 minutes.
Transfer cooked drumsticks to the sauce and toss to coat. Top with scallions, cilantro, and sesame seeds and serve.<br>
