Ingredients

4 servings

Method

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

Tips

Make the spice oil in stages if you're unsure — taste after 1½ tbsp of cayenne. The chicken keeps its crunch for a good half hour, so it can be fried before guests arrive and painted at the table.
