Cover chicken and marinate for minimum of ⏱️ 30 minutes. I recommend to marinate overnight for the best flavor!

After marinating, add 1 egg white to the chicken and mix well. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt in the tapioca flour. Then, dip (lightly press) the chicken in the tapioca flour until the chicken is well-coated.

Grease the plate or tray with oil before putting the battered chicken on it. The chicken with the tapioca flour can be pretty sticky and will be hard to take off the resting plate later.

Next, spray oil generously on top of the chicken to ensure that the chicken with be golden brown when air-fried.
