Description

Deliciously crispy Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks that are juicy on the inside, perfect for cozy nights or impressing guests.


Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: your favorite barbecue sauce for glazing


Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the chicken by combining olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss the drumsticks in the mixture until well-coated.
  3. Arrange the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  4. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Optional: Brush with barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.

Notes

For crispier skin, pat the drumsticks dry before seasoning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness.
