Spiced paprika drumsticks

This is my go-to recipe when I want to make everyone happy. It's quick to prepare and absolutely delicious whether you cook it in the oven, air fryer, or on the grill. I used the air fryer for this batch, and it only took around 20 minutes (remember to turn them after 10 minutes). If you're using the oven, it'll take approximately an hour and a half.

15 min prep 20 min cook

Elements

  • 1 kg of chicken drumsticks
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest of two lemons
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun spice
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • Salt as desired

Alchemy

  1. Combine all the spices and add them to the chicken.
  2. Then, mix the lemon juice and the zest and drizzle everything with olive oil.
  3. Ensure everything is well mixed, then let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  4. You can cook it immediately, but the flavor will be even better if it has time to soak up the spices.
  5. I used the air fryer for this batch and cooked it for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius, remembering to turn the drumsticks halfway through.
  6. Serve and enjoy with your favorite salad.
