Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks

INGREDIENTS

  •  8 chicken drumsticks with skin
  •  1 tsp. Spike Seasoning
  •  1 tsp. Poultry Seasoning
  •  1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
  •  1/2 tsp. salt
  •  1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  •  1/2 tsp. onion powder
  •  1/4 tsp. black pepper
  •  2 T olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Most chicken drumsticks will have some loose skin sticking up; I trimmed that with Kitchen Shears.
  2. Put the drumsticks in a Ziploc bag, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. 
  3. Mix the Spike Seasoning, Poultry Seasoning, Paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small prep bowl. Stir together so all the seasonings are well-combined.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix into the Ziploc bag, putting some seasoning on both sides of the chicken. Then squeeze the bag so all the chicken drumsticks are well-coated with spices.
  5. Then add the olive oil and squeeze bag again until chicken pieces are all somewhat coated with the oil.
  6. Arrange chicken pieces in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. (If your Air Fryer model won’t hold this many chicken pieces cook in two batches.)
  7. Cook the drumsticks for 8 minutes without opening the Air Fryer.
  8. Then remove the basket and use tongs to carefully turn over each drumstick. (Notice the bottom side is also partly cooked at this point.)
  9. Put basket back in the Air Fryer and cook about 8 minutes more, or until an Instant Read Meat Thermometer registers 165F or 75C.
  10. Serve hot and enjoy.
  11. Extra drumsticks can be refrigerated and reheated later for a few minutes in the Air Fryer.
