Instant Vortex Air Fryer Chicken Legs in Basket
This is a super easy and yummy way to cook chicken legs that come out perfect every time!
Simply prep your legs by putting a little olive oil and seasoning on them. Coat well.
Add them to the rotisserie basket.
Air Fry at 375′ for 10 minutes. Check halfway for doneness. These cook pretty quick!
They are done when the temp hits 165′. I went over some and they were still super juicy and perfect! With chicken, I always cook a little more than I should!

- Cook 5-10 minutes and test temp. When 165'F turn the air fryer off. Let the basket sit for a few minutes to cool down.

Thank u I really did not join what I could cook in that basket will be looking forward to seeing other recipes that I can make in the basket.
Can you cook whole chicken in basket instead of on spears?
You can do either – if the chicken is under 4 pounds it will fit in the basket. You want to use the rack for larger, it will break the rotisserie.
Can the chicken be frozen?
Yes but you will need to cook longer. About thirty minutes. Make sure temp is 165′
