What happened

I wanted to roast whole chicken breasts in the larger air fryer oven.

Why it matters

Not breast fillets – bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts that could be roasted just as you would the whole bird.

Common ground

But chimichurri is wet, and I wanted the skin to be golden and crisp.

Perspective signals
