Chicken legs in an air fryer
Description
I have chicken legs with thighs, but you can similarly use any chicken parts: thighs, drumsticks, or wings. The minimal amount of vegetable oil makes this dish almost diet-friendly, and the recipe is easy enough even for a beginner cook. The crispy crust and tender, juicy meat will win everyone over, and thanks to the air fryer, roasting chicken is much more enjoyable—quick and effortless.
