### Tools

- Meat thermometer
### Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Drumsticks:**
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure they get crispy in the air fryer.
2. **Season the Drumsticks:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken drumsticks.
3. **Preheat and Cook:**
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the drumsticks reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4. **Rest and Serve:**
- Remove the drumsticks from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices, keeping the drumsticks moist.
### Health Benefits
- **High Protein:** Chicken drumsticks are a great source of protein, essential for muscle repair and growth.
- **Low Fat:** Cooking in an air fryer reduces the amount of oil needed, making it a healthier option compared to traditional frying.
