Ingredients

  • 8 chicken drumsticks (I recommend skin on, but skinless will work too)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (more or less, to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (more or less, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, usually takes about 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile place the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl and drizzle and coat them in the oil.
  3. Mix up the spice rub - garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the rub over the chicken and use your hands to rub the seasoning into the chicken so it is well coated all over.
  5. When the air fryer is ready, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place the chicken into the basket in a single layer.
  6. Close the basket and cook for 20 minutes, turning the drumsticks over halfway through the cooking time.

  7. Remove, let cool for a few minutes and serve with your favorite sides.
