How to Make Buffalo Chicken Legs in an Air Fryer

Aunt Lou here.

If you love our Air Fryer Buffalo Wings but want a cheaper way to make them, I highly recommend this Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Legs recipe! Around here, chicken legs are a little more than half the cost of chicken wings. So, if you are looking for a way to get more bang for your grocery buck, this is the way to go.

Do not worry about missing out on the taste and texture of some good ol’ buffalo wings. I have you covered. The skin on these legs crisps up perfectly, just like with wings, and you use the same sauce. So, it is just as awesome!

If you need to make these for a bigger crowd, you can easily double or triple up the recipe. You will just need to make them in batches. The ingredients and times before are for one batch of legs.

  • Finally, all air fryers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own air fryer and time adjusted as needed.

Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in chicken legs
  • garlic salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup Butter melted
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (We usually do 3 minutes at 400.)
  • Pat your chicken legs dry while the air fryer is preheating.
  • Place your chicken legs in the basket so that they are touching as little as possible and sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Cook at 400 for 14 minutes.
  • Flip your chicken legs over and cook for an additional 12 minutes at 400.
  • Flip your chicken legs again and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400.
  • While your chicken legs are cooking, mix together your melted butter and hot sauce in a small microwave safe bowl or large coffee cup.
  • Remove your chicken legs from your air fryer and place in a container that has a tight lid.
  • Pour your hot sauce mixture over the chicken legs, close the lid securely and toss until they are well coated.
  • If desired, pour sauce from container over chicken legs after plated for serving.

      I haven’t tried this in an air fryer oven and do not own one. So, I cannot test this recipe in one to know the changes needed for the timing. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
