Instructions

  1. You can remove the chicken skin or leave it on, whichever you prefer. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel or kitchen cloth.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, ground pepper, baking powder, and onion powder.
  3. Drizzle the chicken drumsticks with the oil. Then add the flour mixture and stir until the drumsticks are well coated with the spice mixture.
  4. Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Use parchment paper or foil in the basket to make cleanup easier.
  5. Air fry at 360 degrees F for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes or until lightly brown and charred.
  6. Use a kitchen thermometer to check the chicken for doneness. It is done when it reaches 165 degrees F.

Notes

  • Use your favorite spice blend, like Montreal steak seasoning, Italian seasoning, or seasoning salt, instead of my spice suggestions.
  • Feel free to change the seasoning, but don't skip using baking powder, as it helps the chicken crisp up.
  • Don't crowd the drumsticks in the basket.
  • Always use a thermometer to check the chicken's internal temperature and ensure it reaches 165 degrees F.
