Changes

  • Adjust the spices to your personal preference. I use a delicious chicken seasoning, but you can also use Italian seasoning or just blend your own favorite spices, like salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Add some Teriyaki, BBQ, or chicken marinade. Remove the chicken quarters during the last 4–5 minutes of cooking before adding a sauce or marinate. Next, use a basting brush to coat the food with sauce, then go back and finish. preparing. There will be ample time for the sauce to get somewhat browned on top.
  • If you want extremely crispy skin, add one more minute.

  • Reheating Chicken Quarters: A Guide
  • First, warm your Air Fryer to 360°F for around two minutes to achieve excellent, juicy chicken. After that, return your chicken to the basket. Make sure you don’t overcrowd your quarters and that the chicken has enough room. Use the Air Fryer to reheat them for a duration of 6-8 minutes, or until you find the right level of warmth.

Components

  1. Four quartered chicken legs, cleaned and patted
  2. one-third cup olive oil
  3. One cup of Kick’ n Chicken Seasoning, or your preferred brand,
  4. 1/2 tsp salt
  5. One and a half teaspoons Pepper Cooking Spray (non-stick)

Guidelines

  • After rinsing, gently dry the chicken leg quarters with a paper towel.
  • Fill a big Ziploc bag with all of the spices. To ensure the spices are thoroughly mixed, close the bag and shake.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each chicken leg quarter on both sides with olive oil.
  • One chicken leg quarter at a time, place it into the spice bag. Once the chicken is thoroughly covered in all of the spices, close the bag and shake. Repeat this process with every chicken piece.
  • After 1-2 hours, preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F. Place uncooked chicken leg pieces in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer; cooking time will vary based on the kind of air fryer you use. Apply a mist of cooking spray.
  • For 8–10 minutes, air fry.
  • After 8 to 10 minutes, flip the chicken and continue to air fried it. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees by using a meat thermometer.
  • Because it will be extremely hot, take the chicken out of the air fryer and allow it to rest for five minutes before serving.
