Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs

• 1 tsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup seasoning... recommend one of these... blackened seasoning, salt and pepper and garlic powder, poultry seasoning, paprika, shawarma, zaatar, sumac, piri piri, or a spice creation of your choice

• Nonstick cooking spray... recommend canola oil, light olive oil or vegetable oil as they have higher smoke points

​

Method:

• Make sure the chicken thighs are completely dry and coming up to room temperature. I use paper towels

• In a small mixing bowl add 1 tsp each of corn starch and baking powder. mix well

• Put your seasoning of choice into a separate small mixing bowl

• Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs

• Slice the thighs into one inch wide strips and place in a medium to large mixing bowl

• Add the Cornstarch baking powder mixture to the chicken strips and mix well.  Make sure the chicken strips are well covered in the mixture

• Pre heat your air fryer at 400F for 5 minutes

• Spray the chicken strips with the nonstick cooking spray making sure strips are well coated

• Sprinkle your seasoning mixture and make sure chicken strips are well coated with seasoning

• Spray the inside of the pre heated air fryer with the nonstick cooking spray making sure the basket is well covered

• Add the chicken strips to the air fryer basket.  It's ok if they overlap a bit

• Set the air fryer to 400F and 20 minutes and cook the strips 

• After 10 mins pull out the basket and give the strips a very good toss and shake then put the basket back in and resume cooking

• At 5 minutes remaining and each minute thereafter pull the basket out and check for desired crispiness.

• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or hot sauce or as is!
