What Is the Difference Between Chicken and Duck meat?
Seemingly, both duck and chickens are considered poultry and possess white meat. However, duck meat is very different from chicken. The meat is darker in color as compared to chicken. Moreover, it also contains more nutrients than the quantity present in chicken—for example, the amount of myoglobin helps blood carry more oxygen in excess. The amount of iron is also high in duck meat compared to chicken.
How to Prepare the Duck Legs Before Heading Them Towards an Air Fryer?
First, take the duck legs and wash them off with water or vinegar. Then you have to tap dry them and keep them in a bowl.

After that, you have to mix them well using your hands and coat a thin and even coating over the duck legs. Now they are ready for their journey towards the air fryer.
