Follow these simple steps to prepare your very own Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Chicken:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Coat with Cornstarch: Sprinkle the cornstarch over the marinated chicken, mixing thoroughly to ensure each piece is well-covered.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
5. Arrange Chicken in Air Fryer: Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this can prevent even cooking.
6. Cook the Chicken: Air fry the chicken for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the basket, shake it gently to ensure even cooking, and return it to the fryer for an additional 10 minutes.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If needed, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Serve: Once cooked, take the chicken out and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

With these steps, you’ll have perfectly crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Chicken ready to delight your taste buds!
