Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for approximately 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dry the chicken drumsticks with paper towels, then coat them evenly in the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Arrange the seasoned chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cook the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking for even browning and crispiness.
Once the chicken drumsticks are golden brown and cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F or 74°C), remove them from the air fryer.

Notes

Allow the chicken drumsticks to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them while hot as a delightful and crispy snack or meal!
