Getting Started
- Pat proteins thoroughly dry before seasoning and air frying. This promotes browning and a crispier exterior, crucial for allspice's aromatic compounds to bloom.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to allow hot air to circulate evenly around each piece, ensuring consistent cooking and texture.
- For lean cuts like chicken breast or pork tenderloin, a light spray of avocado or olive oil helps the allspice rub adhere and prevents drying, while still keeping fat content controlled.
- Monitor internal temperatures: Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C), pork 145°F (63°C) with a rest, and beef 160°F (71°C). An instant-read thermometer is your best tool for perfectly cooked protein.
