Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Drumsticks (Easy & Healthy)

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning adhere better.

Step 3

In a bowl, coat the chicken drumsticks with the avocado oil, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Step 4

Place the seasoned drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.

Step 5

Cook the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.

Step 7

Brush the drumsticks with the barbecue sauce, coating them evenly on all sides.

Step 8

Return the drumsticks to the air fryer for an additional 2 minutes to caramelize the BBQ sauce.
