Why Choose the Air Fryer?
Before we dive into the details of making Air Fryer Crab Legs, you might wonder why you should choose the air fryer for this task. Well, if you're an air fryer enthusiast like us, you'll know that this kitchen appliance can work wonders. It's not just for fries and chicken wings; it can elevate your seafood game too.
We love using our Cosori 5.8 QT air fryer for various dishes, and crab legs are no exception. The air fryer not only cooks them quickly but also adds a unique crispiness to the shells, making them easier to crack open. Plus, the flavor of Old Bay Seasoning infuses into the meat, creating a taste sensation you won't forget.
How to Make Air Fryer Crab Legs
Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of preparing your perfect Air Fryer Crab Legs:
Ingredients:
1 pound of snow crab legs
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning
Instructions:
Start by lightly rinsing the crab legs to ensure they are clean and free from any sand or residue.
Once rinsed, lightly coat the crab legs with olive oil. This step helps the Old Bay Seasoning adhere to the shells and infuse flavor into the meat.
Sprinkle the crab legs generously with Old Bay Seasoning. Don't be shy; the seasoning will work its magic while the legs are in the air fryer.
Place the seasoned crab legs into the air fryer basket.
Set your air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the crab legs for about 5-7 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the legs. If you're using snow crab clusters like us, five minutes should do the trick.
Keep an eye on them as they cook, and when the shells are hot to the touch, your crab legs are ready to be enjoyed.
