Wild Blueberry Chicken Legs in the Air Fryer Picture New Recipe

Ingredients

8 chicken legs (drumsticks)

4 cups frozen wild blueberries

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation

  1. In a blender, combine the wild blueberries, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken legs in a shallow dish and pour the blueberry marinade over the chicken legs, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the chicken legs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken legs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  5. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken legs are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Let the chicken legs rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tip: If you like extra sauce, reserve some of the marinade before adding the raw chicken. Heat the reserved marinade in a saucepan and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Drizzle over the cooked chicken legs.
