Doneness
The chicken is cooked through to 165 °F (74 °C) and the edges of the strips and peppers are lightly charred. Crowded, pale strips mean they steamed — spread them thinner.
Oil & seasoning
Toss with a little oil so the strips and peppers char rather than dry out.
Season with: chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, lime.
Watch out for
- Confirm 165 °F — chicken must be fully cooked.
- Spread the strips in a single layer so they char instead of steaming.
- Shake the basket halfway for even browning.
- Cut the chicken and peppers to a similar size so they finish together.
