Air Fryer Chicken Legs

Air Fryer Chicken Legs

Say goodbye to the hassle of fried meat! Air-fried chicken legs use less oil than traditionally fried chicken legs, yet still come out perfectly crisp every time.

Ingredients

- Vegetable oil - Garlic powder - Salt&pepper  - Brown sugar - Paprika - Onion powder - Baking powder - Drumsticks

Pat Dry Drumsticks

1

Remove chicken legs from their packaging onto a plate and pat dry with paper towels as much as you can.

Rub with Oil

Rub each drumstick with oil (a total of 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of oil) making sure they are coated on all sides. Set them aside.

2

Prepare Seasoning

In a large bowl (or in a Ziploc bag), mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and baking powder.

3

Season Chicken

Place the chicken legs in the bowl and make sure that they are coated with the spice mixture on all sides.

4

Air Fry

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. When ready, arrange drumsticks in the air fryer basket, spaced evenly apart, alternating ends.

5

Serve!

Air fry for 10 minutes, flip and rotate and then air fry for another 7-9 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into one of the drumsticks registers 165 degrees F.
