💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Cut potatoes into uniform 2-3 cm cubes before air frying so they cook evenly; irregular sizes cause smaller pieces to burn while larger ones stay undercooked in the same 20-25 minute window.technique2-3 cm cubes
- ✓Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and searing, since surface moisture creates steam that blocks the Maillard reaction and prevents proper browning below 300°F.techniquebelow 300°F
- ✓Render the bacon slowly starting in a cold pan over medium-low heat (around 300°F) so fat liquefies gradually before the exterior crisps, maximizing rendered fat for cooking the chicken and onions.technique300°F
