Equipment

  • 5-quart or larger air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken drumettes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp tallow or clarified butter
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  • Season the drumettes lightly with salt.
  • Cook the drumettes: Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Scramble the eggs: While the drumettes cook, melt 1 tbsp of tallow or clarified butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt, and whisk. Cook, stirring continuously, until scrambled and set to your liking.
  • Serve: Plate the scrambled eggs alongside the crispy chicken drumettes and enjoy hot.

Notes

Variations (Flexible Carnivore Diet):
