Ingredients 

  • 6 Frozen chicken drumsticks, about 1.5-2 lbs
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions

  • Set the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes.

  • Place the seasoned drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
