Step 1

Preheat air fryer to 390°F.

Step 2

Place the chicken legs in a large bowl and pour the oil on top. Toss to coat the chicken with the oil.

Step 3

Mix the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture on the chicken legs and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning.

Step 4

Place the chicken legs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You can line the basket with an air fryer liner for easy clean up, if desired. Cook 10 minutes until browned, then flip the drumsticks over and cook another 8-10 minutes until done (the chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F). If the chicken is getting too dark, lower the air fryer temperature to 375 or 380°F.

Step 5

Serve chicken legs with desired side dishes.
