For hash brown patties:

• Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
• Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Check for crispness and adjust time if necessary.

Combined, they create a bold and balanced seasoning, especially good for beef. You can use mustard powder or even Dijon mustard mixed with garlic for a flavorful roast.

G: It's best to season chicken with salt (and any other seasonings) before grilling. Salting ahead of time helps enhance the flavor and retain moisture by allowing the salt to penetrate the meat. For optimal results, season at least 30 minutes before grilling, or even several hours if possible. Adding other spices or a marinade can further enhance the flavor.

G: Grill chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes per side over medium-high heat (around 375°F-400°F), depending on their size. The total grilling time should be 12-16 minutes.

Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
