Ingredients

Scale

8 chicken drumsticks

½ tsp pepper

½ tsp salt

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tbsp olive oil


Instructions

Prepare the Drumsticks: Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.

Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Rub the drumsticks with olive oil and coat them evenly with the seasoning mix.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 5 minutes.

Cook the Drumsticks: Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are golden brown and crispy.

Serve and Enjoy: Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them hot with your favorite sides!

Notes

Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the drumsticks.

Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
