Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels– you want them as dry as possible on the outside.
  2. Stir the spices and cornstarch together in a medium mixing bowl. Then, add the chicken and olive oil and toss together until completely coated. I find your hands work best, though you can use tongs too!)
  3. Place the chicken in the air fryer in an even layer, giving some room around each piece for air to circulate. Cook for 12 minutes at 400°F until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: This is a perfect make-ahead recipe. Store the cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze cooked or uncooked chicken for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator– if uncooked, continue with step 3. Can I use a different cut of chicken? You can, any cut will work– thighs, breasts, drums, wings, but keep in mind that the cooking time may vary. You want the cuts to be roughly the same size for even cooking. The spice mixture works for 1.5 pounds of chicken.
