What temperature should I set my air fryer to for chicken leg quarters with a marinade that contains brown sugar? I’ve heard that sugar can burn at 350 degrees. What temperature and cooking time would be best to prevent burning?

    To air fry chicken leg quarters with a marinade that has brown sugar, you can set your air fryer to 300-325°F (about 150-160°C). This lower temperature will help prevent the sugar from burning while still allowing the chicken to cook through properly.

    Here’s a suggested method:

    1. Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
    2. Place the marinated chicken leg quarters in the basket, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
    3. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure they’re fully cooked. You may want to flip them halfway for even cooking.
    4. If you want the skin to be crispy, you can increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

    Keep an eye on them to make sure the sugar doesn’t burn. Enjoy your deliciously air-fried chicken!
