Brush with Olive Oil – Gently brush the chicken drumsticks in olive oil to help the seasoning and coating stick as well as encourage crisp goodness.

Season the Chicken – In a bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper, dried oregano (or thyme) and cayenne pepper (if used) then massage the seasoning evenly on the drumsticks.

Coat with Flour & Baking Powder – Mix together flour and baking powder in a secondary bowl to lightly dredge each drumstick for a crispy exterior.

Prepare for Air Fryer Cooking Instructions Preheat the Air Fryer – Heat up your air fryer to the recommended temperature (approximately 400°F/200°C) for a few minutes to get even cooking results.

Arrange & Cook – Add the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, don’t crowd them. Cook about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve & enjoy – Let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your favorite sides or dipping sauces!
