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!
