Equipment

  • Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Legs or drumsticks (cooked leftovers)

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes before putting the chicken legs in. This ensures that the air fryer is hot and ready to cook the chicken legs evenly.
  • While the air fryer is preheating, remove the chicken legs from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This allows the chicken legs to come to room temperature, which helps them cook more evenly.
  • Once the air fryer is preheated, place the chicken legs in the air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching each other. You can sprinkle some seasoning on the chicken legs, such as garlic powder or paprika, for added flavor.
  • Set the air fryer to cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken legs halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly on both sides. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the chicken legs, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken legs with a meat thermometer. The chicken legs should have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they're fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • Once the chicken legs are fully reheated, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring that the chicken legs are moist and tender.
  • Serve the chicken legs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
