I've only made a couple things in my air fryer so when my sis recently got one I asked her to share any good recipes with me - here's one for chicken legs and what she did, in her words:
Ahhh the air fryer. All the rage. I’m that girl that doesn’t cook but jumps on trends. Oh everyone has an Instant Pot? I need one!! I currently only drag it out to cook hard boiled eggs. Yes I am aware I can cook those in a small pan on the stove however I REALLY want to drag out a giant instant pot to make 6 eggs. Anyway, I digress. So. Air Fryer. EVERYONE has one so I gotta have one too!! Especially when I find out I can also use it to replace my toaster oven. (I do actually use the toaster oven.. but now I have one that ALSO is an air fryer!)
So after readying for hours trying to find all the things this thing could do (but I never will use it for) I decide to give it a test run.
I don’t have any chicken wings (seems like a good place to start) so I drag out chicken legs. Close enough. Since I spent so much time reading and I read so many recipes I had to try them all so I started with chicken legs 3 different ways. Plain, BBQ, and Cajun/Creole seasoned. Simple simple. Did love that part.
Warmed up the Air Fryer on 400 for 5 minutes, placed the 6 legs in the air fryer basket. Coated 2 with regular butter flavored cooking spray, 2 I spread BBQ sauce on, and 2 I sprinkled with creole/blackening seasoning.
I cooked these for 12 minutes then flipped them over and coated the other side with the same. Then cooked for another 12 minutes. I have to say there is a chance I might actually use this thing!! They were GREAT. All 3. Done perfectly, moist inside, crispy outside. Great.
Now the question is, will this thing make me hard boiled eggs?
