Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) paprika
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ground black pepper
- 4 skin-on chicken drumsticks
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to reach a temperature of 400°F (200°C) following the guidance from the manufacturer. In a small dish, blend together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange the drumsticks on a sanitized surface. Evenly distribute the spice mixture over all sides of the drumsticks.
- Position the seasoned drumsticks in the air fryer’s basket and let them cook for 10 minutes. Use tongs to turn the chicken over, then continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Ensure the internal temperature near the bone reaches 165°F (74°C) with an instant-read thermometer.
Notes
- Marinate chicken drumsticks in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Pat dry chicken drumsticks with paper towels before seasoning to help spices stick better.
- Achieve crispy skin by lightly spraying drumsticks with cooking oil before air frying.
