Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken legs
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry the chicken legs.
  • Transfer to a bowl and combine with seasonings and oil.
  • Mix well to ensure the chicken legs are nicely coated.
  • Air fry for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Add a teaspoon of cornstarch into the mix while coating the chicken legs. This will make them extra crispy!
  • Make sure you flip the chicken legs midway during the cooking time. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Consider preheating the Air Fryer for a few minutes before adding in the chicken legs. This helps crisp up the skin right from the beginning!
  • Excess moisture is the enemy here, so make sure you pat dry the chicken legs before coating it.
