Ninja Air Fryer Fried Chicken Legs Recipe

Step 1

Remove the chicken legs from the refrigerator and pat dry (removing as much moisture as possible helps to have a crispy chicken skin)

Step 2

Mix the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder in a small dish or ramekin

Step 3

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the chicken and toss to coat

Step 4

Place the drumsticks on the cooking basket. In the Ninja Foodi, this is called the "Cook & Crisp" basket.

Step 5

Drizzle olive oil on them

Step 6

Use the Air Crisp setting on 400 degrees for the Ninja Foodi or 400 degrees on other fryers to cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes per side.

Step 7

Enjoy the chicken legs alone or add your favorite keto or low-carb dips and sauces.
