Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine all dry seasonings.
  • Coat chicken legs in olive oil. Sprinkle dry seasoning blend over chicken to cover all sides.
  • Place chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn chicken legs and continue to cook for an additional 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken legs and wattage of the air fryer.
    To ensure doneness, check chicken legs for an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Notes

To cook from frozen:
To cook the drumsticks from frozen, you will need to increase the time to 12-15 minutes on each side. (Flip the drumsticks over after 15minutes and then cook for an additional 15 minutes)
As always, be sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure the meat has been cooked thoroughly. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
