Start with 6 chicken legs.

Season all sides of the chicken legs with Kinder's brown sugar barbecue rub, ensuring the rub sticks by giving it a nice pat.

Place the seasoned chicken legs in the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check on the chicken and flip it to ensure even cooking and prevent charring of the skin.

Return the chicken to the air fryer to finish cooking for the remaining 10 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should be at least 165 degrees, preferably around 175 degrees for fully cooked legs.

Once cooked, generously apply barbecue sauce to the chicken legs.

Set the air fryer to 350 degrees for 10 minutes to thicken the barbecue sauce on the chicken.

After 5 minutes, flip the chicken legs and apply more barbecue sauce, then continue cooking for the remaining time.
