Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry the drumsticks for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- For extra crispy skin, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes, but monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
