Spicy Air Fryer Chicken Drumsticks
These spicy air fryer chicken drumsticks are a quick way to get crisp skin and tender meat without turning on the oven. A smoky paprika rub with garlic, oregano and a little cayenne gives bold flavour while keeping the prep simple.
They are ideal for a weeknight family meal and work well with salad, rice or flatbreads. Serve with lemon wedges to brighten the spice and balance the richness.
Method
15m25m40m
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with kitchen paper and place in a large bowl.
- Mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, oregano, salt, black pepper and baking powder into a paste.
- Rub the seasoning all over the drumsticks until evenly coated, then leave for 10 minutes while the air fryer preheats.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes.
- Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the basket with space between pieces; cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 22 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is crisp and the thickest part reaches 75°C.
- Rest for 3 minutes, then serve hot with lemon wedges and any pan juices spooned over.
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper adjust to heat preference
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Lemon cut into wedges to serve
- 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Baking powder aluminium free
- 8 chicken drumsticks skin on
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
Notes
Cook in batches rather than overcrowding the basket so the skin crisps properly.
Use a probe thermometer and pull the drumsticks once they hit 75°C in the thickest part.
For milder heat, reduce cayenne to a pinch and add more smoked paprika instead.
