Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken legs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of each basil, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika,

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken dry if it is not dry already. Stir together seasonings in a small bowl. Sprinkle ¼ of the seasoning mixture on each side of the chicken and rub in mixture. Let chicken relax.
  • While chicken is relaxing, in the seasoning bowl, add flour. Stir. In another small bowl, crack eggs and beat them.
  • Roll chicken in flour mixture and set on a plate. Let chicken relax for 5 minutes to soak up flour.
  • Roll chicken in the egg mixture and then roll back in the flour mixture. Let chicken relax another 5 minutes (yes, this step is necessary).
  • When chicken is done relaxing, spray bottom of air fryer with cooking spray and place chicken legs in the air fryer. Spray chicken with cooking spray (this will create a nice crunch).
