Tips

  • Marinate the chicken overnight for best flavor. You can use chicken breast, slicing it thinly before marinating.
  • Make the cucumber salad in batches and store it for later use. The flavors improve over time.
  • When air frying, monitor the chicken; it may cook faster if the sheet pan isn't full.
  • Store cucumbers separately when reheating; warm the chicken and rice in a pan on low heat.
  • Garnish with black sesame seeds (optional).
