\"AirAir Fryer BBQ Chicken Drumsticks<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6 chicken drumsticks, approximately 1 \u00bd to 2 lb.<\/p>\n

2 tsp. olive or avocado oil<\/p>\n

\u00bc C. BBQ sauce<\/p>\n

propellant-free nonstick cooking spray, like Chosen Avocado Oil Spray<\/p>\n

BBQ Spice Mix<\/p>\n

2 tsp. smoked paprika<\/p>\n

1 tsp. onion powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp. granulated garlic<\/p>\n

\u00be tsp. kosher salt<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. dried thyme<\/p>\n

\u00bd tsp. dry mustard<\/p>\n

\u00bc tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to tatse<\/p>\n

\u215b tsp. cayenne pepper, or to taste<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees F. for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the oil and toss again to coat the drumsticks well. Sprinkle the seasoning over the chicken and toss until the chicken is well coated on all sides. Set aside. Spritz the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray (be sure it\u2019s propellant free \u2013 see Notes). Place the seasoned chicken drumsticks in the basket in one layer with a little space in between and cook for 10 minutes at 380 degrees F. Use tongs to flip the chicken and cook for an additional 8 minutes. Pull the basket out and baste the chicken liberally on all sides with BBQ sauce. Cook at 380 degrees F for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 F and the BBQ sauce is slightly caramelized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
