Air fryer chicken drumsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare air fryer chicken drumsticks:
Ingredients:
- 4-6 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Optional: additional seasonings of your choice
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and any additional seasonings you desire.
- Rub the drumsticks with olive oil to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the drumsticks, making sure to coat them thoroughly on all sides.
- Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the drumsticks in the air fryer for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the air fryer chicken drumsticks hot as a main dish or as part of a meal. They pair well with a variety of sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
