Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 4
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the marinated drumsticks and gently press to ensure it sticks to the chicken.
Step 5
Place the chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd to allow even cooking.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer; it should read at least 165°F (74°C).
