  • Place the drumsticks in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

  • Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the drumsticks and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
