- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are thoroughly coated with the seasoning mix.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes.
Arrange the chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Cook the drumsticks for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking until they are golden brown and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo air fryer chicken drumsticks with your favorite Paleo side dishes.
