Crispy and juicy air fryer chicken drumsticks that are easy to make and full of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
  4. Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
