Using the Ninja Grill/Airfryer, preheat with roast setting at 400°F.

Make the seasoning paste: In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper with a fork or a spatula.

Dump the seasoning paste and the chicken legs in a gallon bag. Shake around until all are coated in the mixture. Place chicken legs in the Ninja using the air-fryer tray.
