For the Chicken
- 2.5 lb chicken legs about 8 drumsticks
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- BBQ sauce Your favorite, for coating
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Give the air fryer basket a light spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.

- Place the seasoned chicken legs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd them so they can cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
