PREP TIME: 3minutes
COOK TIME: 20minutes
EQUIPMENT:
-
Air Fryer
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Brush drumsticks with oil and then place into a Ziploc bag.
-
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Once combined, pour into the bag with chicken and toss again until the drumsticks are covered with the spice mixture.
-
Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray, or brush a light coating of olive oil over basket to prevent drumsticks from sticking.
-
Place the drumsticks in air fryer basket without overlapping or stacking. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Flip chicken drumsticks halfway through the cooking time.
-
Once chicken has reached 165° degrees internal temperature, and has your desired crispness, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
NOTES:
Use a digital food thermometer to check chicken for doneness. I highly recommend using this thermometer, when cooking meat in the air fryer. A thermometer confirms chicken temperature very easily.
- I make this recipe in my Cosori air fryer and 20 minutes cook time was perfect. Because all air fryers are different, you may need to adjust cooking time by 2-5 minutes.
