Frequently Asked Questions
Should I remove skin for this split chicken breast recipe?
Nope! Leaving the skin on the air fryer chicken leg quarters helps lock in the moisture and juices from the meat. I don’t recommend removing the skin unless you absolutely want to.
How can I tell if the leg quarters in the air fryer are done?
You should insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should be 165 degrees F; then it’s done.
How long do air fryer chicken quarters last?
Once the chicken leg quarters in the air fryer are done cooking, let them cool down. Once cool, place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Of course! Heat at 370 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until they are hot.
