Description
Crispy and juicy air fryer drumsticks that are easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
- Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not touching to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the drumsticks in the air fryer for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy skin, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes, but be careful not to overcook.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings or marinades for a variety of flavors.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
