How to Air Crisp Chicken Legs in a Ninja Foodi
Cris here.
I am so exicted to share this recipe with you today! This has VERY quickly become a favorite for my family. Everyone is in love with this recipe and it could NOT be more simple.
Truth be told, I love my Air Fryer Fried Chicken, but these air fryer old bay chicken legs are easier (no breading mix required) and so flavorful. I have a feeling I now have a new go-to low carb fried chicken and THIS is it!
Recipe Notes
- We have used the air crisp feature on the Ninja Foodi Grill and the original Ninja Foodi to test this recipe. This recipe should also do well in the Ninja Foodi Air Crisp Oven.
- This recipe is a combination of our Crock Pot Old Bay Chicken (inspired by a recipe found in one of my favorite low carb cookbooks) and our Air Fryer Fried Chicken

- 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.

Anxious to give this a try. Was wondering if you could use the same recipe and cook it in the instant pot. Just bought my first instant pot so any suggestions will be appreciated.
We haven’t tried this recipe in the Instant Pot yet. You might use the recipe below, but change the seasonings to Old Bay instead. We haven’t tested doing it that way though, so I can’t say for sure it will turn out. However, if you give it a try, let us know how it goes!

I had great success with your chicken and potatoes recipe so now I’m going to give this one a shot. My brother is a huge Old Bay fan, and he is coming to stay with us for awhile. I hope this is a hit!
That’s awesome Adrienne! I hope you and your brother love this recipe!
