My sister said my air fryer chicken was 'just okay' and it got to me

We had dinner last night and I made my usual crispy chicken thighs, cooked at 380 for 18 mins. She took a bite and was like 'it's fine, but kinda dry?'. I've been making them the same way for a year and thought they were perfect. Now I'm second guessing my whole method. Maybe I need to change the temp or time? Has anyone else had a family member roast their go-to recipe and had to change it up?

380 for 18 minutes is my exact go-to for thighs too. Did she maybe get a piece from the very edge of the basket where it cooks faster? That part can get dry for me sometimes.

My brother once said my pasta was "fine" and I still think about it in the shower.

bro it's literally just chicken thighs lol. you've been making them the same way for a year and they were fine before your sister said something. people have different tastes and maybe she just doesn't like super crispy chicken or whatever. like your sister isn't a food critic she's just a person with opinions. honestly if i changed my cooking every time someone said something was "just okay" i'd never eat anything again. tweak it if you want but don't let one comment ruin your whole confidence.
