Main Ingredients

8 pieces chicken drumsticks The main ingredient that makes this dish delightful.
1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil Used for drizzling to help seasonings stick.
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt Adds essential flavor to the chicken.
1 teaspoon garlic powder Provides a savory depth to the seasoning mix.
1 teaspoon onion powder Compliments the garlic and enhances the overall flavor.
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper For a little kick and additional seasoning.
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley A fresh garnish to brighten the dish.

Preparation

Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F, if required.
Pat the chicken dry on both sides with paper towels.
Drizzle chicken with oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Cooking

Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket, skin side down, ensuring they are not crowding or overlapping.
Cook at 390 degrees F for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, flip the drumsticks and continue to cook for another 12-15 minutes until no longer pink and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

Serving

To achieve the best results, ensure chicken is not overcrowded in the fryer. Allow resting time after cooking for juices to redistribute.
