    150g carrots, shredded
    100g red cabbage, shredded
    15g fresh coriander, roughly chopped

    Ingredients for the Lime Salted Corn Cobs

Directions

  1. This recipe can be cooked in 2 batches in a 9L air fryer.
  2. Set out 3 large shallow bowls.
  3. Place flour in the first bowl. Whisk eggs in the second bowl. Combine panko crumbs, Black Lime Chilli Powder, garlic powder and salt in the last bowl.
  4. Crumb the drumsticks by first lightly coating them in flour, then egg. Thickly coat them in the panko crumb mix, pressing it on well.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 180ยฐC. Lightly spray the air fryer grill plate with oil.
  6. Spray the drumsticks lightly all over with oil.
  7. Put half of the crumbed drumsticks on the grill plate and cook for 10 minutes. Turn them over and spray with extra oil if they look dry. Cook for another 10-15 minutes or until well cooked inside. Smaller sized drumsticks will cook faster.
  8. Transfer the cooked drumsticks to a wire rack, loosely cover with foil so steam can escape. Wipe out excess crumbs from the air fryer tray.
  9. Cook the second batch of drumsticks the same way and in the meantime, prepare the side dishes.
  10. Make the slaw by first mixing mayonnaise, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
  11. Add the carrot, cabbage and coriander then gently stir to combine, set aside. Steam the corn cobs until tender.
  12. Once all the drumsticks are cooked, and just before serving, melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave.
  13. Stir Black Lime Salt into the melted butter and drizzle it all over the corn.
  14. Serve crunchy black lime chicken drumsticks with tangy slaw and lime salted buttery corn cobs.ย
