Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 chicken legs skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together.
- Add the chicken legs to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mix until they’re evenly coated.
- Place the chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 22-25 minutes at 400F flipping them halfway through. The chicken should be crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
Notes
- You can let the chicken marinate overnight to let the flavors meld.
- Line your air fryer with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Don’t forget to preheat your air fryer if your model requires it.
- Store: Once they’ve cooled, store this air fryer chicken drumsticks in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freeze: If you’d rather freeze the chicken legs, they’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just be sure to let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer bag.
- Reheat: When you’re ready to reheat, just pop them back into the air fryer or microwave until they’re warmed through.
