Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until the drumsticks are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 5
Cook the drumsticks at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
Step 6
Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the drumstick. It should read at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, keto-friendly chicken drumsticks!
