Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks
Description
Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks are prepared by coating skin-on drumsticks with olive oil and a spice mix including baking powder, black pepper, garlic powder, kosher salt, and paprika. The baking powder helps to crisp the skin as the drumsticks cook at high heat in the air fryer. The process involves cooking the chicken at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for two 10-minute intervals, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and crispness.
The final result is drumsticks that feature a crisp exterior with savory spices, while the meat remains juicy and tender inside. This recipe requires minimal preparation and is suited for those seeking a home-cooked chicken option with enhanced texture from the air fryer method.
The drumsticks are best served right after cooking to maintain the crisp skin. They pair well with a variety of sides such as salads, roasted vegetables, or grains for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumstick skin on
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper can increase if desired
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Using 1 tbsp of olive oil, coat the chicken drumsticks with oil.
- Mix baking powder, pepper, garlic powder, salt and paprika in a separate bowl. Toss the chicken legs with the seasoning. Brush remaining olive oil over the top of drumsticks.
- Place drumsticks into air fryer, making sure not to crowd them, and cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Flip drumsticks and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.
