Air fryer chicken legs

 


Air fryer chicken legs 


INGREDIENTS


  • 6 medium Chicken drumsticks (~1 1/2 lb total)

  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 tbsp  parsley flakes 

  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

  • 3/4 tsp Seasoned salt (divided)

  • 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika

  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees F (193 degrees C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, make the compound butter by mashing together the butter, garlic, parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt with a fork.
  • Run your hand under the skin on each chicken leg to separate it from the meat. Place a dollop of compound butter under the skin and press the skin gently so that it spreads out underneath.
  • Season the chicken drumsticks (over the skin) with smoked paprika, pepper, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt.
  • Place the chicken drumsticks in the air fryer in a single layer, skin side down. Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip over, then air fry for 8-10 more minutes,  then flip and cook a third time for 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Taco Soup

 


Taco soup 


INGREDIENTS


  

  • 1½ lbs ground beef
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can of whole kernel corn (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 (15.25 oz) cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1 (1 oz) package of taco seasoning I use original but you can use mild or hot also.
  • 1 (1 oz) package of ranch seasoning.
  • 1 pint or 2 cups salsa I prefer homemade salsa but you can use any brand. Use and mild or as hot as you like!
  • 2½ cups water
  • 1 pack of corn tortillas sliced and fried in vegetable oil for the toppings




INSTRUCTIONS


 

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef until it is no longer pink. I like to drain excess fat after the ground beef is cooked. Place cooked cooked beef on a paper towel lined plate. This will help absorb any additional fat.
  • In a large pot add drained black beans, drained kidney beans, diced tomatoes, and drained corn. Stir to mix well.
  • Add in salsa, water, taco seasoning, dry ranch seasoning, and stir well.Heat to a boil and reduce heat to med low. 
  • Add cooked hamburger back into the pot and stir to combine. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve warm and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Remove cake from oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes in pan before removing and letting to cool completely.
Caramel sauce: While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramel topping.
