Barbecue Chicken Legs

Dark chicken meat is the juiciest, and these air-fried legs are no exception. A quick, easy dinner for your family!

This recipe is also excellent for chicken thighs. Simply cook skin side up for the first cooking. I add 3 minutes cooking time to each of the cooking times (a total of 9 minutes added).
