Yet again, I’m thrilled with the performance of my air fryer to achieve perfectly cooked chicken bites. I’m really skeptical of kitchen gadgets, but I’m using it at least 2-3 times per week. If you hate spending extra time in the kitchen and struggle to cook meats and veggies perfectly, this is the right tool.
Three factors which will ensure that the texture is perfect with this crispy chicken shawarma bowl:
- Use cornstarch to velvet the chicken
- Make sure the chicken pieces are well spaced apart in the air fryer / no touching at all
- Evenly misting the chicken with olive oil (use a pump mister instead of propellant can to avoid a sticky, permanent coating on cookware
For the tahini sauce it’s important to follow the order of addition of ingredients, the mixture will get thicker and appear to clump before thinning out again.
The chicken and sauce taste amazing over romaine or iceberg lettuce, as a salad, but will do equally well over rice or cauli rice, or in a pita or wrap for portability.
