Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). While it’s heating, pat the drumsticks dry with a paper towel.
- Combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the drumsticks until they’re well-coated.
- Place the seasoned drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Allow the drumsticks to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking. Marinate for extra flavor if desired.
