Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or jar and then stir or shake until all are well blended.
2 tbsp sweet paprika powder , 1 tsp garlic granules , ½ tsp onion granules , 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp parsley , 1 ½ tsp salt , ¼ tsp ground pepper , ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
To use, rub generously over your chicken drumsticks, breasts or tenders. If you like you can brush the chicken with olive oil first, but I tend to omit this step, as for me the skin has enough fat.

Oven method: You can cook chicken as desired, in an oven at 200°C/390°F for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer at the thickest part.
1 tbsp fresh parsley
Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Add the seasoned drumsticks in a single layer, making sure they don't touch. Air fry for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley.
