As the clock struck six, the aroma of Panko Chicken Drumsticks wafted through the kitchen, mingling with the sounds of laughter emanating from the dining table. Sally, ever the entertainer, had decided to give her family favourite a cheeky twist by whipping them up in the air fryer.

“Don’t you just love how quick it is?” she chuckled, tossing the drumsticks with a flourish in the crispy Japanese breadcrumbs. Even her husband, Tim, who usually steered clear of the kitchen, couldn’t resist commenting. “I do, but I reckon it’ll be a miracle if any of them make it to the table!”

Minutes later, the golden-brown drumsticks were ready, glistening with a tantalising crunch. As Sally placed the platter in the centre of the table, the delighted gasps from her two children filled the air. “Look at those!” exclaimed little Oliver, his eyes wide with excitement.

With every bite, the cheerful banter continued – jokes about chicken stealing the spotlight and playful ribbing about whose turn it was to devour the last drumstick. The table, filled with laughter and a sense of togetherness, was more vibrant than ever, thanks to the simple joy of Panko Chicken Drumsticks, a newfound family tradition served up with a side of smiles.
