AIR-FRIED CHICKEN



Air-fried chicken image

Use an air fryer to make these easy chicken thighs, and add the seasoning or sauce of your choice. It's an easy way to cook chicken when you're busy

Provided by Anna Glover

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large or 8 small chicken thighs, skin on
1 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
1 tbsp plain flour
seasoning of choice (use salt and pepper, or ½-1 tsp of either smoky BBQ, ras-el-hanout, garlic granules, celery salt or garam masala)

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken thighs in the oil, making sure they are all well-coated.
  • Mix the flour with the seasoning, then toss with the chicken thighs - it will be a very light coating, but you can double the flour and seasoning if you prefer a thicker coating.
  • Arrange the chicken in one layer on the tray of an air fryer without a paddle, and program to cook for 35 mins. Check the thighs are cooked by pulling the flesh on the underside of one away from the bone - it should come away easily and there should be no pink remaining. Cook for another 5-10 mins if needed. The skin should have bubbled and crisped up, and any excess fat from the chicken will have dripped into the base of the fryer (you can discard this). Don't leave the chicken in the fryer, or the steam will make the skin soft again.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken breasts
½ tbsp rapeseed oil
1 tsp salt
1 ½ tsp garlic granules
1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
2 tsp mixed herbs
½ tsp pepper
steamed rice and greens such as broccoli or green beans or a green salad, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Coat the chicken in the oil and set aside. In a bowl, combine the salt, garlic, paprika and mixed herbs with a good grinding of black pepper, then scatter onto a plate.
  • Roll each oiled chicken breast in the seasoning and put in your air fryer basket. Cook at 180C for 18-20 mins, turning after 10 mins. To check it is cooked, pierce the chicken with a knife at the thickest part to see if the juices run clear. Or insert a temperature thermometer and it should read 70C. Serve with rice and greens or a salad.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a healthier and leaner option.
  • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, ensuring they cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices for added flavor.
  • Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the chicken to ensure crispy results.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, ensuring there is enough space for air circulation.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking for even browning and to prevent burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, ensuring it reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.
  • Season the chicken with additional herbs, spices, or sauces after cooking for a burst of flavor.

Conclusion:

With its crispy exterior and tender interior, air fryer chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course, sandwich filling, or salad topping. Using an air fryer to cook chicken is a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods, as it requires less oil and produces less grease. Experiment with different marinades and seasonings to create a variety of flavorful chicken dishes that cater to your taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a more elaborate dish for a special occasion, air fryer chicken is a crowd-pleasing option that is sure to impress.
