Note: All air fryers are manufactured differently and cook differently. This recipe was made using a Cosori 5.8 qt air fryer. If you're using a different air fryer, you may need to add or take away a minute to ensure this recipe is fully cooked. I would recommend checking the recipe for doneness with 1-2 minutes remaining in cook time.
