Chicken legs tend to have a better texture and are more tender when cooked to 185 degrees.<br \/>\nYou can add as much or as little sauce to your chicken legs as you like, depending on how saucy you want the finished product. The sauce will caramelize a bit in the air fryer and get a bit sticky, but these are still a bit messy to eat, especially if you use a lot of sauce (my kids think this is part of the fun!).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These saucy Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Legs turn out so juicy and flavorful!
