Ingredients
4 chicken drumsticks
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnish: fresh parsley, lemon slices
Directions
Preheat the Air Fryer Preheat your BELLA 4QT Slim Air Fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Prepare the Chicken Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly onto the drumsticks.
Cook the Chicken Place the 4 chicken drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. Cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Add BBQ Sauce After 15 minutes, brush the drumsticks with BBQ sauce on all sides. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the BBQ sauce caramelizes.
Serve and Enjoy Let the chicken rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a crisp salad.
Tips:
For extra crispiness, increase the air fryer temperature to 410°F during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or use a silicone liner for easier cleanup.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick.
