How to Make BBQ Chicken Legs in a Ninja Foodi

We absolutely love BBQ Chicken. Some of our favorite recipes are Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Legs and Instant Pot Chicken Drumsticks. These flavors pair so well with some of our crock pot side dishes like: Crock Pot Corn on the Cob, Crock Pot Bacon Baked Beans and Cheese Lover’s Crock Pot Shells.

Low Carb Options for Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Legs

Since going low carb, I also have dabbled with different homemade barbeque sauces like this one cooked in Low Carb Crock Pot BBQ Cola Chicken ( and the Instant Pot version) and our Homemade Low Carb BBQ Sauce. However, these days I am actually in love with this low carb version of my favorite grocery store brand. You can use your favorite bbq sauce.

• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
• Finally, all air fryers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own air fryer and time adjusted as needed.
