Reviewed cooking notes
Why this recipe works
Even pieces cook evenly
Cutting chicken into similar sizes helps the air fryer brown the outside without drying the smaller pieces.
Patting dry improves browning
Less surface moisture means better color and texture.
Resting keeps it juicy
A short rest lets juices settle before serving.
