Cooking StepsHow to cook Air Fryer Shredded Chicken Jerky step by step

Step 1 Detail

Place whole chicken breasts in cold water and blanch. Add scallions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, and cooking wine.
Step 2 Detail

After blanching, remove the chicken and rinse clean with warm water.
Step 3 Detail

Let cool until warm to the touch, then shred into strips. Don’t make them too thick or they won’t absorb flavor well.
Step 4 Detail

Add BBQ seasoning, fine chili powder, salt, MSG, white sesame seeds, and a touch of sesame oil (just a little for fragrance). Mix well and marinate for 1-2 hours.
Step 5 Detail

Air fry at 180°C for 1 hour. Flip halfway through. Reduce time if using less chicken. Adjust based on preference — cook longer for drier, chewier jerky.
