- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even cooking.
