Made air fryer chicken leg quarters
I usually stick with drumsticks but my grocery order sent me chicken leg quarters. I followed the same recipe I found online (I'll add the link at the bottom- it's from the Big Man's World blog) for chicken drumsticks, increased the brown sugar by a teaspoon, and added an extra tablespoon of oil.
Unlike other air fryer recipes, I like how they recommend oiling after adding the seasoning- I think it makes a huge difference.
Here's the full recipe-
- 3 chicken leg quarters, skin on
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the air fryer to 400, mix the spices and baking powder together, and sugar. Rub over all the chicken pieces on all sides. Drizzle oil.
Air fry for 12 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 8 minutes.
Now I'm going to purposely order chicken leg quarters haha!
If you want to make the drumsticks (like I thought I was doing) this is the original recipe I follow- https://thebigmansworld.com/air-fryer-chicken-drumsticks/
