Oven‑Baked Crispy Chicken Legs and Air‑Fryer Yakitori Recipes

Two home‑cooking guides detail simple chicken dishes. The first recipe shows how to bake bone‑in chicken legs at 425 °F for 40–45 minutes, using olive oil and a spice rub of paprika, poultry seasoning, onion powder, black pepper and salt to achieve a crispy exterior and juicy interior. Suggested sides include Greek salad, mashed potatoes or biscuits.

The second recipe adapts Japanese yakitori for an air‑fryer, using bite‑size pieces of skinless chicken thighs coated in a glaze made from reduced‑sodium soy sauce, mirin, sake (or Shaoxing wine), honey, sugar, and sesame oil. Skewered with green onion pieces, the chicken is air‑fried at 350 °F, brushed with sauce repeatedly, and cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (or higher for thighs). Both dishes are presented as quick, flavorful weeknight meals.
