Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 chicken quarters
  • ½ apple, grated
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sweetener (like sugar)
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated apple, ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sweetener, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken quarters to the bowl and ensure they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange the marinated chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (190°C) for approximately 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Once cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C), let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
