3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The cooking process is where the magic happens!
Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400°F (200°C), then place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket or a cast-iron skillet, leaving some space between each piece.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through.
For maximum crispiness, make sure the chicken is at room temperature before cooking.
And don’t forget to garnish with chopped cilantro for a pop of color and freshness!

Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
