Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken legs to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until well-coated.
Spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not touch or overlap.
Cook the chicken legs in the preheated air fryer for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
Remove the chicken legs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy chicken legs with your favorite dipping sauce and side dishes.
