As dark meat, chicken legs are going to take several minutes longer to cook than breast meat will. Allow a minimum of five extra minutes, and check them with an insta read digital thermometer when you remove them from the oil Salmonella is not something you would want to risk.

I would also recommend that you separate the thighs from the drumsticks before frying them, because the thicker meat of the thigh will take longer to cook than the skinny drumsticks, and also because it will take up less room on the draining paper towels when you remove them.
