- ✓Pat chicken cubes completely dry before seasoning because surface moisture creates steam that prevents the Maillard reaction, reducing browning by 60%.technique60% browning reduction
- ✓Add garlic during the last 30-60 seconds of cooking chicken because garlic burns at 280°F and becomes bitter, while chicken cooks at 350°F+.timing30-60 seconds
- ✓Shake air fryer potatoes every 7 minutes (not just 'a couple times') to ensure all six sides get direct hot air exposure for even crisping.timing7 minutes
- ✓Use low-moisture mozzarella for broiling because regular mozzarella contains 50-60% water that creates soggy results under high heat.ingredient50-60% water content
