Air Fryer Chicken Legs (Crispy & Juicy)
Description
This recipe focuses on preparing chicken legs that achieve a crispy exterior and juicy interior through air frying. The chicken legs are first patted dry and tossed lightly with olive oil and seasonings including garlic parsley salt and black pepper.
Air frying at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, cooks the legs thoroughly with a brown, crisp skin while retaining moisture inside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F to be safe to eat. Additional cooking time may be added if needed.
These chicken legs are ready to serve immediately and can be accompanied by any preferred sides. The air fryer offers a convenient, less greasy alternative to deep frying.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken legs
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Pat the chicken dry, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, then season with garlic parsley salt and pepper. Toss it all together to make sure that all sides are seasoned well.
- Place the chicken legs in one layer inside the air fryer. Air fry the chicken at 400°F for 10 minutes. Remove the basket and flip the chicken, then air fry for 10 more minutes.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken. Fully cooked chicken should read 165°F. If necessary, air fry the chicken for another 5 minutes or as needed. Serve!
