Air Fryer Chicken Legs (Drumsticks)

  • Turn the air fryer on to 180°C/350 F for 35 mins (5 mins pre time to season chicken)

Notes

  • Note 1 If the juices run clear, then are cooked. If the juices are a little pink, continue to cook for a further 5 mins. Then retest to ensure the juices are clear and chicken is thoroughly cooked. You can also use a thermometer to check the chicken, however, the visual juice method is my preferred. 
  • Note Nutritional  information provided is per 1 chicken leg.
