Air Fryer Chicken Legs (Crispy Drumsticks Every Time)
These are the air fryer chicken legs I make when I don’t feel like thinking about dinner. Crispy skin, juicy meat, simple seasoning, and done in about 30 minutes.

- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Onion powder
- 8 Chicken drumsticks
Preheat your air fryer to 380F for 5 minutes. After pre-heating, spray with cooking spray (if desired).
Add the chicken legs to a large zip-top bag or a bowl with a lid. Top with the kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano and onion powder. Shake to coat.
Place the chicken legs in the air fryer and air fry at 380F for 15 minutes.
Turn your chicken legs over and cook for 15 minutes more.
Cook until the skin is crispy to your liking, but I would not recommend letting the internal temperature of the chicken legs go over 180-190 degrees F using a meat thermometer.
