Air Fryer Cajun Chicken Drumsticks

• 8 Chicken drumsticks, skin on
• 1 ½ tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Ground garlic
• 1 tsp Ground onion
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper
• ¾ tsp Fine sea salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper

1. Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with kitchen paper. In a bowl, mix the olive oil with the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, ground garlic, ground onion, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, fine sea salt and black pepper.
2. Add the drumsticks and toss until evenly coated. Leave at room temperature while you preheat the air fryer so the seasoning can hydrate and cling.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer; cook in batches if needed.
4. Air-fry for 12 minutes, turn, then air-fry for 10 to 14 minutes more until well browned and cooked through, turning once more if you like. The skin should look deeply coloured and the juices should run clear when the thickest part is pierced.
5. Rest the drumsticks for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle. Serve hot.
