Initial Heating Settings

First HeatingManually set temperature and time195°C / 14min

After about 7 minutes, remove the food, flip it over, and resume heating for the remaining time. Check the core temperature when finished. Measure the core temperature of the thickest part and the holding time. Transfer any items that meet the completion criteria to a clean plate. If the food does not meet the criteria, and provided there is no burning or other abnormalities, remove the temperature probe and return the food to the air fryer, then resume cooking for the remaining time as originally set. If the food is still not done after the set time has elapsed, stop cooking and proceed to the final verification step. Do not resume cooking if the food has started to burn. If you notice smoke, an unusual odor, or an error indicator, stop cooking immediately, discontinue use, and follow the instructions in the user manual.

If the food has not met the completion criteria after the initial heating, and there is no burning or other abnormality, perform only 1 additional heating step. If it still fails the recheck, do not eat it.manual195°C / 1min

Instructions for preheating, mid-cooking checks, and how to check for doneness are included in the preparation instructions.

Cut the chicken, season it, and coat it. While the air fryer is preheating, return the chicken to the refrigerator.

Check Before Cooking
  • Cut the chicken into pieces (1 piece: 25〜30g), each no thicker than 20mm.
  • If using frozen meat, put it in a leakproof bag or container and thaw it thoroughly in the refrigerator, including the center. Once thawed, prepare and cook it immediately. Do not thaw it at room temperature.
  • Attach the Crisp plate and arrange the ingredients in a single layer without stacking them. If they do not fit, do not start heating; proceed to the “Arrangement” section in the conditions. The 4.7L specification does not indicate a maximum food weight limit.
  • The instructions call for preparing the unit while it is cool, preheating it to 195℃ using the “Preheat” function, and then adding the ingredients. The standard preheating time for this temperature is 3 minutes.
  • Do not place food or paper inside while the appliance is preheating. Do not use the water-addition mode, and do not let water, oil, or sauce accumulate in the basket. Ensure proper ventilation of the plate.
  • Cover ingredients that will be used later and refrigerate them.
  • Have a food-grade internal thermometer ready. Do not rely solely on the initial cooking time, surface color, meat juices, or photographs to determine whether the food is cooked through.
  • Before heating, arrange the specified amount for one batch in a single layer with gaps, and check that everything fits. If it does not fit, do not start; choose an official procedure for the same model that matches the amount and thickness. Do not split it into batches while keeping the original time or scale the time in proportion to the weight.
  • If you pull out the basket while holding down the basket release button, the heating and timer will pause. Place the basket on a trivet to check it; when you return it, the cycle will automatically resume. To stop the cycle while it is running, press the Start/Pause button. Remove the food once it is ready; if it is not yet ready but shows signs of burning or other abnormalities, do not return the basket to resume the cycle.
  • Using a food thermometer and a timer, ensure that the center of the thickest part of each ingredient remains at 75℃ or higher for at least 1 continuous minute. Do not place the tip against bones, and measure vegetables that have come into contact with raw meat under the same conditions. Remove standard thermometers before reheating, and clean them after each measurement.

  1. 01

    Cut the meat and season it

    Do not wash the meat; pat it dry and cut it into uniform thickness. Mix salt, ginger, and garlic, cover the meat, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Wash your hands and any utensils that came into contact with the raw meat, and set them aside separately from those used for the final preparation.

  2. 02

    Apply a thin coating

    Coat with potato starch and shake off any excess. Use a brush to spread a thin layer of rice bran oil over the surface. Refrigerate while waiting. Do not pour oil directly into the basket.

  3. 03

    Preheat the unit

    Properly attach the Crisp plate to the basket and return it to the unit without adding any food. Select “Preheat,” set the temperature to 195℃, and start the cycle. Wait for the 3-minute preheat cycle—which is set automatically—to complete. Prepare a heat-resistant surface where you can place the hot basket.

  4. 04

    Arrange them in a single layer and heat manually.

    Once preheating is complete, remove the basket and arrange the ingredients on the plate with space between them, avoiding overlapping. Return the basket to the unit, manually set the temperature to 195℃ and the time to 14 minutes, then start the cycle. Do not use the preset’s default time. After approximately 7 minutes, remove the basket, flip the ingredients, and resume cooking for the remaining time. Check the progress midway through cooking according to the “Completed,” “Not Completed,” or “Abnormal” status in the cooking stage section, and use the controls in the “Conditions” section to stop or resume the process.

    Check the core temperature and holding time

    Once cooking is complete, select several thick pieces and insert a clean food thermometer from the side toward the center to take the temperature. If there are bones, do not let the tip touch them. Verify that the center temperature remains at 75℃ or higher continuously for at least 1 minute. Simply reaching 75℃ once is not sufficient to confirm the holding time. Do not consider the dish done based on color or photos alone.

  6. 06

    Verify the completion criteria

    If the dish does not meet the doneness criteria, stop cooking and proceed to the final check. If the surface begins to burn, stop cooking; if the center does not meet the doneness criteria, proceed to the final check. Once the cooking conditions are met, transfer to a serving plate using clean tongs and garnish with lemon if desired.

    What to check if the food is not yet done

    If the dish does not meet the completion criteria, stop cooking and do not eat it. If you cannot confirm the appropriate settings for 300g of chicken thighs with skin (maximum thickness 20mm, starting from a chilled state) in the official instructions or product labeling in the reference section, do not repeat the cooking process based on guesswork. Do not refrigerate the chicken while it is still cooking and finish it at a later date.

    Discuss these instructions

Check the results

Make sure the center reaches at least 75℃ and remains at that temperature for at least 1 minute before eating. Browning is only a supplementary check of texture.

Things You Can Verify Without Consulting Anyone →

If you get stuck along the way

White powder remains on the batter

Next time, shake off any excess flour and brush on a thin, even layer of oil. Don’t blindly extend the cooking time just because there’s white flour on the surface; check to make sure the center is cooked through first.

300g won't fit in a row

If the food does not fit, do not start heating; proceed to the “Placement Guidelines” section. Do not overcrowd the air fryer and increase the cooking time.

How the Recipes Were Created and Sources Consulted
Standards verified in official documents
Fried Chicken: 450g, preheat to 195℃, 14 minutes for the first cycle. The instructions specify cooking in batches.
Independently designed details and unverified points
The official instructions call for letting 450g of skinless chicken thighs rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes, preheating the air fryer to 195℃, and then cooking using the chicken setting for 14 minutes in several batches. Crisp recommends placing 300g of refrigerated, skin-on chicken thighs (maximum thickness 20mm) in a single layer, preheating the air fryer to 195℃, and then cooking on the “Manual” setting at 195℃ for 14 minutes. Since the quantity, skin status, starting temperature, coating and seasonings, mode, and whether to flip midway differ, we cannot guarantee that the center will be fully cooked in the initial 14-minute cycle.
