Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Strips
Steps
- 1
Toss the chicken with a little oil, lemon, salt, and pepper — just enough oil to coat, not a pool of it in the bowl.
- 2
Air fry at 190 C for 8 minutes.
- 3
Shake the basket or turn everything over, then continue air frying for 6 more minutes until golden (check it reaches 74 C, no pink in the middle).
- 4
Check everything is piping hot throughout before serving.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer until piping hot throughout.
Student tip
This doesn't need a pool of oil to crisp — a light spray does the job. Heavy oil or fat adds unnecessary, unhealthy calories, not flavor.
