  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a crispier skin.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the drumsticks in a large bowl and pour the seasoning mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Arrange the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook in batches.
  • Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping the drumsticks halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
