Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

For the Spice Mix

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon umami powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer at 400º F for 5 minutes.
  • Rub the spice mix over all of the drumsticks.
  • Pour the oil over the drumsticks and massage into each leg.
  • Bake in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken and turn it over. Bake another 10 minutes.
  • Check the temperature of the drumsticks. You want the chicken to be 165F degrees internal temperature.

Notes

  1. You can also use this recipe for chicken wings or any cut of chicken!
  2. These chicken drumsticks will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
To bake in the oven: 
Season the chicken the same way as if it were going into the air fryer. Lay onto a parchment paper-lined 9x13 pan. Bake at 375º F for 20-25 minutes until done. You will know the chicken is done when it is 165º F with an internal thermometer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
