Put the legs in the cooking basket, which you grease a little beforehand. Then deep-fry the chicken legs for 15 minutes at 200 degrees until they are golden brown and crispy. Halfway through the process, you should turn it once if your air fryer does not have a paddle and does this for you.

In the meantime, mix all the other products together in a saucepan and bring them to a boil. When the marinade becomes slightly thick, you can remove it from the hotplate. 6 minutes should be enough for this. Put the finished legs in a bowl and season them with the finished marinade. You can use a kitchen brush for this purpose.
