Air Fryer Chicken Legs Recipe

tsp sea salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

½ tsp smoked paprika

¼ tsp chili powder

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl combine all the spices and herbs, set mixture aside.

Add spice mixture to bag or bowl and toss to coat chicken legs.

Place chicken drumsticks in air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

Flip chicken drumsticks over and cook for an additional 10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, if it is not this temperature add a few more minutes of cooking time and check after that. I actually prefer my chicken legs about 180-190 degrees so they fall off the bone and there’s no bloody spots around the bone.

Golden, crispy air fryer chicken legs with a delicious sweet and smoky seasoning. Ultra flavorful, super crispy skin, and juicy meat inside!

chicken legs/drumsticks ((about 2 1/4 pounds))

dark brown sugar

dry mustard powder

cayenne pepper

Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (or serving)

With paper towels, pat the chicken legs dry, and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the oil.

Stir

In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, mustard, and cayenne. Sprinkle over the chicken, then toss to evenly coat.

Arrange

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Arrange a single layer of the drumsticks in the basket.

Air fry chicken legs for 10 minutes, then slide out the basket and flip the legs. Return to the air fryer and cook for 8 additional minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F when a meat thermometer is inserted at the thickest part without touching the bone (I remove mine around 190 degrees F and it is still very juicy. The extra time ensures the skin is nice and crisp). Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with chopped cilantro or parsley as desired.
