Instructions

- Cook in the air fryer at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of drumstick reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes. Rearrange drumsticks with kitchen tongs halfway through cooking for even cooking.
- Meanwhile, make sauce: Combine spinach, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; process until crema sauce is smooth.
- Drizzle some crema sauce over drumsticks and serve with remaining crema.
