Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss well to ensure each drumstick is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Air fry the drumsticks at 380°F (193°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly air-fried chicken drumsticks!
