💡

Tip: Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones for 30 minutes so they don't burn. Cut veggies and chicken the same size for even cooking. Don't pack pieces too tightly — leave small gaps for airflow.

Why Air Fry This?

⏱️Ready in 15 minutes vs ~27 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
