HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CHICKEN LEGS

In a saucepan, combine the bourbon, maple syrup, chopped apple, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, and butter. Bring to a boil. Cook for about 6-7 minutes, turn down the heat and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside.

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting. Drizzle the chicken in olive oil. Sprinkle on salt, black pepper, and the rest of the garlic powder. Place the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 18-20 minutes – turning once halfway through.

Once the skin is crispy and the chicken is thoroughly cooked (It should be 165 degrees internally.), you can remove them from the heat. Once they’ve cooled for a few minutes, place them in a bowl. 

Place the apple bourbon sauce you set aside earlier into a food processor or blender. Mix until the apples are no longer chunks. Pour the apple bourbon sauce onto the wings & toss until they’re fully covered. Plate the wings and garnish with a little chopped rosemary and black pepper.

Some Pro Tips:

• This sauce is delicious on any wing, chicken, or even pork. 
• The chicken legs are best eaten right away, while they still have that crispy bite!
• Any bourbon will work fine in this recipe; whiskey works as well!
• You can use any chicken part that you wish, and this recipe works well with chicken legs, wings, and thighs.

How long do drumsticks take in the air fryer?

The actual time of the chicken drumsticks depends on how large the drumsticks are and what air fryer you own.

The temperature that works best on-air fryer drumsticks or legs is 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 18 to 20 minutes.

The internal temperature of the chicken drumsticks should be 165 degrees.

Can you put raw chicken in an air fryer?

Yes, anything that you cook in an oven, you can cook in an air fryer. The temperature and timing will change a bit, but any raw meat, including chicken, into the air fryer, will work perfectly air fry up.

Can you stack chicken legs in an air fryer?

To get a perfectly cooked batch of chicken legs you should never stack food.

And air fryer works by the hot air circulating around the food in the air fryer basket or on the tray. By stacking or crowding the food in the Air Fryer, the food will not properly cook up.

So, never stack or crowd your air fryer basket.

Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer?

Yes, you can use foil in an air fryer basket. The key is to make sure that the aluminum foil does not restrict the airflow.

The other thing about using foil in an air fryer is that you need to ensure that it does not touch the air fryer heating element, becoming a safety concern.
