Ingredients
Scale
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Optional 1 cup Ranch dressing and 1 tsp hot sauce – I prefer Sriracha
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the herbs and spices.
- Set the mixture aside.
- Take the drumsticks and place them in a bowl or plastic bag, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Toss the drumsticks to ensure they are well coated in oil.
- Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture all over the drumsticks and coat them thoroughly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2-10 minutes.
- Arrange the coated drumsticks in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the basket and flip the drumsticks over.
- Continue cooking for another 10 minutes at 400°F.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken; if it hasn't reached 165°F, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Cooking time may vary due to the size of the drumsticks, so be sure to check the temperature with a digital thermometer to avoid over or undercooking.
- Once the drumsticks reach 165°F internally, serve immediately.
- For an optional dipping sauce, mix together Ranch dressing and hot sauce, adjusting the spice to taste. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure the drumsticks are spaced out in the air fryer basket.
Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken for safety.
Feel free to adjust spices according to your taste preference.
