Airfyer Chicken Legs

 

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or arrowroot if grainfree
• 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 6 chicken drumsticks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

• You can remove the chicken skin or leave it on, whichever you prefer. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel or kitchen cloth.
• In a small bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, ground pepper, baking powder, and onion powder.
• Drizzle the chicken drumsticks with the oil. Then add the flour mixture and stir until the drumsticks are well coated with the spice mixture.
• Place the drumsticks in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Use parchment paper or foil in the basket to make cleanup easier.
• Air fry at 360 degrees F for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10 minutes or until lightly brown and charred.
• Use a kitchen thermometer to check the chicken for doneness. It is done when it reaches 165 degrees F.

• Variations

  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of garlic powder for added flavor.
  • If you like it spicy, use chili powder instead of paprika.
  • Use your favorite spice blend, like Montreal steak seasoning, Italian seasoning, or Adobo powder. 
  • Toss the chicken in your favorite sauce after it’s cooked and crisped. BBQ sauce, honey mustard, or hot sauce are tasty choices.
