  Speaker 1: make fairly deep cuts in the meatiest part of each drumstick.

• 2:06
  Speaker 1: pinch of garlic powder. Stir with a teaspoon until the

  Speaker 1: the drumsticks are cooked, brush them generously with classic barbecue
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: sauce on all exposed sides. Return the chicken to the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: air fryer. Cook for another 6 minutes at 374 degrees Fahrenheit.
