Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the chicken into a bowl while it’s still cold from the fridge.
- Add the oil, salt, black pepper, garlic, and white pepper.
- Toss briefly, just until the surface looks evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken in the air fryer basket in a loose layer.
- Cook at 200°C / 390°F for 7 minutes.
- Shake the basket to turn the pieces.
- Cook another 5–7 minutes until browned at the edges and cooked through.
- Scatter over the spring onion just before serving.
Typical Mistakes
- Crowding the basket — the chicken steams instead of browning.
- Too much oil — it dulls the salt-and-pepper punch.
- Overmixing — a light toss keeps the texture better.
