Keep a batch of chicken seasoning around: This spice mix adds great flavor! I like to keep a batch in my spice cupboard to make this easy recipe any day of the week.
Thaw your chicken legs: If you try to air fry frozen chicken legs, the outside will most likely dry out before the inside is fully cooked. For juicy chicken that cooks quickly, always work with thawed chicken legs.
Temp your cooked chicken legs: A digital meat thermometer is a must for cooking chicken! Always take the internal temperature of the chicken at the widest section, usually next to the bone. Chicken is cooked when it reaches 165 degrees F.
