Ingredients

CHICKEN Chicken legs are generally 1/4 chicken with thighs and drumsticks attached.  If you have just thighs and/or drumsticks, those work just fine too.

FLAVOR We season the chicken legs with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, & chicken seasoning. You can either buy seasoning or make your own homemade chicken seasoning!

Ingredients

  • 3-4 chicken legs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning* see note
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 370°F.
  • Drizzle olive oil over chicken legs and generously season with chicken seasoning, garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste.
  • Place the drumsticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, skin side down, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Flip the legs over and cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until the legs reach 165°F.

Notes

Premade chicken seasonings can vary in flavor and salt level. If your seasoning is quite salty, you might like to reduce the amount.

Ensure legs aren’t too crowded and that air can circulate around them. Do not overlap.
