Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken Drumsticks
- 2 tbsp Best Chicken Dry Rub Seasoning click for recipe
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil or olive oil
Instructions
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. Add them to a large bowl.
- Add the dry rub and oil. Toss until the drumsticks are evenly coated on all sides.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between the pieces.
- Air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the outside is browned and the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165°F.
Notes
- Use about 2 tablespoons of dry rub per pound of chicken.
- Drumstick sizes vary, so larger pieces may need a few extra minutes.
- For the best browning, pat the chicken dry and avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
- You can season the drumsticks up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook.
