air fryer or Ninja Foodi

Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken Drumsticks about 5-6 pieces
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
2 tbsp Avocado Oil

Instructions

Add them to your air fryer basket in a single even layer. You can grease your basket if you’re worried about it sticking but this rarely happens.
Air fry at 375 for 20 minutes making sure you flip halfway through.
Remove partially cooked drumsticks from the air fryer basket and add to a bowl. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss everything together until seasoning is fully coated on the skin of the chicken.
Return seasoned chicken legs to the air fryer basket and set to 400 degrees cooking for another 10-15 minutes flipping halfway through. Remove and serve.

Notes

NOTE: The last step may take a few minutes MORE or LESS depending on how big your chicken is and how powerful your air fryer is. During the last step, it’s best to check the chicken every 5-7 minutes until they are cooked through with an internal temperature of 165.
