Quick and Easy Airfryer Chicken Leg Quarters & Date Walnut Kale Salad

Quick and Easy Airfryer Chicken Leg Quarters & Date Walnut Kale Salad

Some days, the thought of cooking makes me want to hurl myself off my balcony.  Tell me I’m not alone in this. Like I like cooking, but why does everyone always have to eat everything? Why can’t we just have home-cooked meals that I don’t have to make?  

I’m being dramatic? Yes, I am… because why does the hubs have to go out on the day I don’t feel like cooking? FML!  If he didn’t have a life, he would be able to cook for us, and that would be the end of my hangry temper tantrum.  

Well, guess what? I’m not that lucky today. I thought about just getting take out, but to be honest, I’ve been getting heartburn the last few days and I knew, cooking at home would let me be more in control of what I put in my mouth. 

So here is a super quick chicken recipe that is not only quick but healthy and filling!
