Description

Crispy and flavorful chicken legs cooked in an air fryer, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.


Ingredients

  • Chicken Legs (4-6 pieces)

  • Garlic Powder (1 teaspoon)

  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black Pepper (½ teaspoon)

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse and pat dry the chicken legs.
  3. Toss the chicken legs in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  4. Arrange the chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
