Air-Fryer Chicken Legs image

For years, I tried to find the perfect bottled barbecue sauce for chicken legs. After a few years, I threw in the towel and created my own using ketchup, honey and spicy brown mustard. It works perfectly with this air-fryer chicken legs recipe. -Kathleen Criddle, Lake Worth, Florida
