Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Chicken

   Pat dry both sides of the chicken leg quarters thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. 2.Season the First Side

   Place the chicken on a plate. Drizzle olive oil over one side of the chicken. Sprinkle generously with lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and salt. Add a dollop of ranch dressing.

3. 3.Spread Marinade

   Use a brush to evenly spread the marinade mixture all over the seasoned side of the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated.

4. 4.Season the Second Side

   Flip the chicken over and repeat the seasoning process on the other side: drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, paprika, and salt, and add ranch dressing. Brush to spread evenly.

5. 5.Marinate Overnight

   Cover the seasoned chicken with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

6. 6.Prepare for Air Frying

   Line the air fryer basket with greased aluminum foil. Carefully place the marinated chicken leg quarters into the prepared air fryer basket.

7. 7.Air Fry the Chicken

   Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Cook the chicken for 25-30 minutes. During cooking, flip the chicken at least 3 times and brush with melted butter each time to ensure even cooking and a crispy skin.

8. 8.Serve

   Once cooked through and golden brown, remove the chicken from the air fryer and serve immediately. The chicken should be flavorful, tender, and juicy.
