Tips

  • You can use chicken breast for this recipe too, just slice into thinner fillets before marinating.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight for the best flavor.
  • Make the cucumber salad in batches and store to use for any meal, as the flavors get even better the next days.
  • When air frying the chicken, keep an eye on it; if the sheet pan is not full, the chicken will cook in less time (approx. 12-13 mins); make sure you get a nice char.
  • To reheat, best to store the cucumbers separately as it’s served cold. Warm up the chicken and rice in a pan for a few minutes on low heat.
