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
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure they are dry. This helps in achieving a crispier texture.
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 in the marinade until they are well-coated with the mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Arrange the marinated chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they have enough space and are not overlapping to allow for even air circulation.
Cook the drumsticks in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the drumsticks to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.
Check the internal temperature of the drumsticks using a meat thermometer. The ideal internal temperature should be at least 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the chicken drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the sugar-free air fryer chicken drumsticks hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
