Chef Sofia Rossi’s Test Kitchen Notes
To achieve maximum crispiness, cook the onion mixture in a hot skillet or air fryer until it's lightly browned.
For a creamier sauce, don't overcook the chicken – it should still be juicy and tender.
For meal-prep storage, refrigerate the cooked chicken and sauce separately, then reheat and serve within 24 hours.
