Ingredients
  

  • 7 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Pat dry the chicken drumsticks using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the skin to become crispy.
  • In a large bowl, add salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried rosemary to the chicken drumsticks.
  • Drizzle the chicken drumsticks with avocado oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Place the seasoned chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them for even cooking.
  • Cook the drumsticks in the air fryer at 380F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
