Protips

• Marinating the chicken with the spices and oil not only flavors the chicken but also helps to keep it moist during air frying.
• Adding pasta water to the sauce helps it to bind with the noodles for an evenly coated pasta dish.
• Make sure to adjust the amount of lemon juice and garlic to your taste.
