Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Legs (this was about 6 drumsticks)
  • 1/2 tsp Natural Ancient Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the chicken legs from the refrigerator and pat dry (removing as much moisture as possible helps to have a crispy chicken skin)

  2. 2

    Mix the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder in a small dish or ramekin

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the seasoning mixture on the chicken and toss to coat

  4. 4

    Place the drumsticks on the cooking basket. In the Ninja Foodi, this is called the "Cook & Crisp" basket. 

  5. 5

    Drizzle olive oil on them

  6. 6

    Use the Air Crisp setting on 400 degrees for the Ninja Foodi or 400 degrees on other fryers to cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes per side. 

  7. 7

    Enjoy the chicken legs alone or add your favorite keto or low-carb dips and sauces.
