How to Make BBQ Chicken Legs in a Ninja Foodi
Cris here.
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.
