Notes

Best served hot. Pair with a fresh salad, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. To store leftovers, let the chicken cool, place in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispiness. Feel free to add more spices or herbs for extra flavor.
