- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the baking powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar.
- Using paper towels, pat the chicken drumsticks dry. Coat them evenly with the prepared seasoning mix, ensuring each piece is well covered. Drizzle the olive oil over the seasoned drumsticks, tossing to distribute evenly.
- Arrange the drumsticks in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip each drumstick and continue cooking for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until the exterior is crisp and the internal temperature reaches doneness.
