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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss well to ensure each drumstick is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your keto-friendly air-fried chicken drumsticks!
