### Ingredients
- 8 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (for marinating)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (for basting)
### Instructions
1. **Marinate the Chicken:**
- In a mixing bowl or Ziplock bag, combine the chicken drumsticks and 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Ensure the drumsticks are evenly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
2. **Prepare the Chicken:**

3. **Preheat the Air Fryer:**
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. **Cook the Drumsticks:**
- Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cook at 360°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
5. **Add the Sauce:**
- With 5 minutes left on the timer, open the air fryer and brush the drumsticks with the remaining 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce using a basting brush. Increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and cook for the remaining 5 minutes to get a nice glaze and char on the drumsticks.
