Instructions
- Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the drumsticks.
- Set the pressure cooker to the sauté mode. Add olive oil and sear the drumsticks for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are browned. This step enhances the flavor of the chicken.
