Chicken legs are one of the most economical poultry cuts you can buy, yet they pack so much flavor. Keeping some on hand for weeknight meals is an easy and affordable way to put together quick, tasty main dishes like these Asian-inspired favorites featuring Sriracha Chili Sauce.

 

It’s the simplicity of this dish that makes it a weeknight winner. Using your air fryer to ensure evenly cooked chicken legs in this recipe is key to delivering speedy yet succulent results.

 

Why We Love It

With just four ingredients, the sauce mix for these air fryer honey sriracha chicken legs brings together a powerful punch of flavor. It’s perfectly spicy, sweet, acidic, salty, and savory, all at once!
