Are you tired of the same old chicken supper recipes? Try these Air-fried Chicken Legs with Brown Sugar Crispiness! They just require thirty minutes to prepare and cook, and they have the ideal balance of sweetness and savory flavor.
Ingredients
- Eight drumsticks or chicken legs
- Two tsp olive oil
- One-third cup brown sugar
- and one-half teaspoon Kosher salt
- one tsp powdered garlic
- One tsp powdered onion
- one tsp finely ground mustard
- One tsp of smoky paprika
- One-half teaspoon of cumin
- One-half teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
- After removing any surplus fat from each chicken leg, pat it dry. Put the chicken legs into a big dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Using tongs, thoroughly coat each leg of the chicken after drizzling it with oil.
- Toss the spices into the basin or bag, making sure to coat each chicken leg thoroughly.
- Depending on your model, place the chicken in the air fryer basket or on trays, and air fried it for 20 minutes at 400°F. Halfway through the cooking process, turn the chicken.
- When the chicken is done cooking, it should be 165°F internally, golden brown, and crispy on the outside.
How to Reheat and Store Leftovers
- Air fryer chicken legs keep well in the refrigerator for three to four days or freeze for two to three months.
- To reheat, take careful to let them thaw in the refrigerator for an entire night. You can either re-heat the chicken in the air fryer for a few minutes or microwave it!
- My preference is to air fried them for a few more minutes because it brings back the crunchy texture!
