Ingredients

5 chicken legs (around 500g (1.1lb))
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 stalk lemongrass (use only white part (bottom 6 inches), grated with Microplane)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon, heaping turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon coriander powder (optional)
3 dashes cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon, heaping salt
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)

Steps

1
In a bowl, mix the chicken with all the ingredients except for the olive oil for basting. Stir well to coat evenly.
2
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, but for the best flavor, marinate for 1 hour.
3
Place the chicken legs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spoon the leftover marinade over them and air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes. Then, baste the chicken with olive oil.
4
Flip the chicken legs and baste them with olive oil. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for another 5 minutes, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the air fryer and serve hot.
