Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Legs

Get ready for the crispiest, most succulent chicken legs you've ever had, all thanks to the magic of the air fryer! No deep-frying mess, just pure, unadulterated chicken perfection.

Ingredients

• 🍗Chicken Legs(4-6)
• 🫒Olive Oil(1 tbsp)
• 🌶️Smoked Paprika(1 tsp)
• 🧄Garlic Powder(1 tsp)
• 🧅Onion Powder(1 tsp)
• 🧂Salt(1/2 tsp)
• 🧂Black Pepper(1/2 tsp)

Instructions

1. 1.Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy skin!
2. 2.In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create your flavor-packed rub.
3. 3.Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken legs, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Don't be shy!
4. 4.Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. A preheated air fryer is a happy air fryer (and makes for crispier chicken!).
5. 5.Arrange the chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don't overcrowd them; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
6. 6.Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and irresistibly crispy.
7. 7.Let the chicken legs rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep them juicy.
