Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

Ingredients:

6 chicken drumsticks

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps to achieve crispiness.

Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this can prevent even cooking.

Air Fry: Cook the chicken drumsticks in the preheated air fryer at 380°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the drumsticks and the air fryer model. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.

Serve: Once the chicken drumsticks are cooked and crispy on the outside, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious air fryer chicken drumsticks with your favorite side dishes!
