Ingredients:
Chicken drumsticks (because bland poultry is so yesterday)

Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer: Ignite your air fryer's magic and set the temperature to 375°F (190°C). As it heats up, let's get those drumsticks ready for their saucy transformation.
Drumsticks Prep: Pat your chicken drumsticks dry with a paper towel, because we're about to give them a flavor makeover that'll make them the star of the plate.
Spice it Up: Generously coat your drumsticks with the spice rub, massaging those flavors in like you're giving them a spa day. This medley of spices will create a symphony of taste as your drumsticks sizzle.
Into the Air Fryer Arena: Place those seasoned drumsticks in the air fryer basket like they're stepping onto a flavor stage. Make sure they have room to crisp up and cook evenly.
Fry with Flair: Slide the basket into the air fryer with the confidence of a seasoned chef ready to orchestrate a taste sensation. Cook those drumsticks for around 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure juicy perfection.
The Saucy Finale: Ding! Your chicken drumsticks are ready to embrace their saucy destiny. Carefully take them out of the air fryer and coat them in your favorite barbecue sauce like you're painting a masterpiece of flavor.
