Keto Chicken Drumsticks & Broccoli [Easy Air Fryer Recipe]

Sometimes you’re in the mood to make an elaborate three-course feast. Other times you just want something nutritious, delicious, and ready to eat in under 20 minutes. If you’re looking for the latter, whip up this easy air fryer chicken drumsticks and broccoli dish for a no-fuss weeknight dinner with minimal clean up.

While chicken and broccoli is known as the quintessential post-gym meal, these humble ingredients can be transformed with the right spices, seasonings, and preparation method. Using an air fryer lightly crisps the skin of the drumsticks and is the perfect way to cook poultry without diluting the flavor—no soggy boiled chicken and broccoli here!

Adding in a generous amount of onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika brings out the natural umami flavor of the chicken while olive oil provides some healthy fats and a way for the spices to cling onto every crevice of the meat. And because the broccoli is cooked at the same time as the chicken, it absorbs the juices and additional spices that would otherwise be lost in the cooking process, making the veggie just as infused with flavor as the meat.

Using an air fryer is the preferred method for the fastest cooking time and easiest clean up, but this recipe will work just as well in the oven. We love serving this recipe as its own meal, or with keto-friendly zucchini noodles for some extra veggies.
