Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks
Ten drumsticks in a smoked paprika rub, air fried until the skin is crisp and the meat pulls easily from the bone.
Ingredients
- 10 chicken drumsticks skin on
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to create a marinade.
- Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, turning them until evenly coated.
- Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes so the flavours can infuse.
- Place the drumsticks in the basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping.
- Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- Check the thickest part reads about 175°F, then rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate. Pat the drumsticks completely dry before seasoning, as surface moisture stops the skin crisping. Dark meat is best taken to about 175°F rather than stopping at the 165°F safe minimum.
