Looking for a quick way to finish boiled chicken with sizzling, golden‑brown flavor without an oven? Air‑frying is the secret. Here’s a simple method to turn your pre‑cooked chicken into a crispy, restaurant‑style dish in ten minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 boiled chicken, sliced into pieces
Instructions
- Combine the vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Coat the boiled chicken pieces evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden‑brown and crisp.
- Serve hot, straight from the fryer.
Chef’s Tips
• Use a light spray of oil instead of a generous amount to reduce greasiness.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before coating to help the crisping process.
• If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to maintain even browning.
FAQ
- Can I use a conventional oven instead? Yes—bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes, but an air fryer cooks faster and yields a crispier texture.
- Will the chicken stay tender? The pre‑boiled base keeps the meat moist, while the air fryer finishes it with a golden crust.
- What if I don’t have an air fryer? A skillet with a handful of oil works too; just keep the heat medium‑high and flip frequently.
