# How to Make It:
01 -
If needed, preheat your air fryer to 375°F/190°C for 3–5 minutes based on your model's requirements.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix avocado oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels. Toss them in a large bowl and coat with the prepared marinade. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
04 -
Place the marinated drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping for even cooking.
05 -
Air fry the drumsticks at 375°F/190°C for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
06 -
Transfer the cooked drumsticks to a large bowl and toss with BBQ sauce until fully coated.
07 -
Return the coated drumsticks to the air fryer and cook at 400°F/200°C for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the sauce for a sticky finish.

Serve the drumsticks hot and enjoy!
