Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

Course Main Course
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 7 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Pat dry the chicken drumsticks using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the skin to become crispy.
  • In a large bowl, add salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried rosemary to the chicken drumsticks.
  • Drizzle the chicken drumsticks with avocado oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Place the seasoned chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
  • Cook the drumsticks in the air fryer at 380F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Experiment with different spice blends to suit your taste preferences. 
  • You can try variations with cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, or even a BBQ rub.
