Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 2 plates
Ingredients
- 12 chicken legs or other chicken parts but time below works for drumsticks
- 2 tbsp seasoned salt
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bag chicken breading or use flour with seasonings to bread
Instructions
- Dry legs with paper towels so skin is dry. Put drumsticks in a bowl and pour olive oil on top. Rub all legs with olive oil so they are coated well. Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 375 degrees.
- One at a time sprinkle seasoning of your choice all over each drumstick. Or if you are using the bagged seasoned breading we did add mix to gallon baggie and shake with 3 legs inside so they are coated well with powder.
- When preheated spray the inside of your air fryer basket lightly with non stick spray.
- Lay legs with meatiest side facing down into your basket so they don't overlap, 4 fit nicely in our Ninja Foodi. Spray tops with olive oil spray.
- Close your air fryer lid and set for 24 minutes total. Flip legs after 10 minutes, spray with olive oil spray again, then continue cooking other side for 12 minutes.
- Spray tops once again and air fry for 2 additional minutes to really crisp the tops if you want it super crispy. Always check chicken to ensure they are cooked thru before eating.
- Remove and enjoy...then add another batch.
