Notes

If using drumsticks, pre-heat the air fryer to 375° F, and cook for 18-20 minutes, flipping over halfway through. Check for doneness after 15 minutes total. Spray the asparagus with cooking oil, and add it to the air fryer halfway through the total cooking time of the chicken. 

Cooking times and doneness vary depending on the type of air fryer. Check chicken half way through cooking times for progress. Adjust cooking times as needed.
