Description

Deliciously crispy air fryer chicken legs seasoned with a blend of spices.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken legs
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 ½ tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper to a large bowl. Mix everything together.
  2. Add the chicken legs to the bowl and mix with the sauce so that all chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2 minutes.
  4. Place the chicken legs in a single layer in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 22-24 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through using tongs. Cooked chicken will look crispy and will reach 165℉ when poked with a meat thermometer.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the chicken legs are well coated with the oil and spice mixture.
  • Cooking time may vary based on the size of the chicken legs.
