Ingredients
  

  • 8 chicken legs
  • 2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • Pat the chicken legs completely dry with paper towels. Evenly sprinkle the outsides with salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  • Place four chicken legs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch each other for maximum crispiness.
  • Cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken legs and cook for an additional 8 minutes.
