Air Fryer Chicken Legs - Air Fryer Recipes

Ingredients

8 chicken drumsticks (or 4 chicken legs quarters)
1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients except chicken, until well blended. Add the chicken legs.

Mix and massage the drumsticks by hand for about 2-3 minutes, or until all the liquids almost completely absorbed by the meat. Make sure that the chicken is evenly covered by the seasoning sauce. Massaging the chicken will allow the sauce to get quickly absorbed by the meat, flavoring it inside out.

Place the chicken legs on the air fryer rack, leaving some space in between. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do the frying in two batches.

Fry at 400F for 15 min. Flip and fry for 10 min more, again at 400F. Flip again and fry for 5 minutes more. If the legs look quite well-browned, you may not need to do the final 5 minutes of frying.
