Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the marinated drumsticks and gently press to ensure it sticks to the chicken.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd to allow even cooking.
Air fry the drumsticks at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes. Flip the drumsticks halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are evenly crisp and cooked thoroughly.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer; it should read at least 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious low carb air fried chicken drumsticks!
