Ingredients
8
chicken drumsticks
2
tablespoons
avocado oil
1
teaspoon
Kosher salt
½
teaspoon
cracked black pepper
1
teaspoon
paprika
1
teaspoon
garlic powder
1
teaspoon
onion powder
Instructions
Combine the spices in a small bowl and set aside.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Wash and pat dry the chicken legs.
Place the drumsticks in a large bowl and toss with avocado oil.
Sprinkle chicken with the spice mixture and toss together until evenly coated.
Place drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes at 380 degrees F.
Remove the fryer basket and turn the drumsticks.
Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If needed, cook for an additional 2-5 minutes.
Notes
For crispier skin, spritz drumsticks with a little bit of oil (an oil mister/spritzer works well for this).
Don't crowd the chicken in the basket- you need to leave room for the air to circulate for even cooking
Grease the pan or use a parchment paper liner for easier cleanup.
Refrigerate leftovers.
