Air Fryer Curry Chicken Food

AIR FRYER CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Let the chicken breasts rest for thirty minutes so they come to room temperature then pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent them from steaming when cooking.
• 2. Put the basket in and preheat the air fryer or Ninja Foodi to 350 degrees for 10 minutes. This will ensure a gorgeous color to the chicken breasts and lock in the juices when the thighs hit the basket.
• 3. Spray the chicken with one tablespoon of avocado oil or olive oil. Alternatively, you can rub the oil into the chicken or use ghee for a buttery flavor. Add a teaspoon of salt between one pound of chicken by sprinkling it over the chicken.
• 4. Once the Ninja Foodi or air fryer is preheated open and quickly add the chicken breasts making sure they are not touching and there is space between them for air to flow.
• 5. Air fry the chicken for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use a meat thermometer and check that the chicken is cooked to 165 degrees in the thickest part of the chicken.
• 6. Once finished take them out and spoon the curry in a hurry over the chicken breasts, as much as you wish, and feel free to add more. You can also add cilantro or parsley for an herbal addition.
• 7. If you want to add a veggie to your meal remove the chicken from the basket and for the Ninja Foodi (air fryer below) remove the basket itself (it's hot so use protection). Toss green beans or any veggie in the fat then remove the beans once you've absorbed all of it. Add the veggies back to the basket and add any extra oil needed. Air fry at 390 for 8-12 minutes depending on the veggie (softer veggies are shorter times where green beans are 9 minutes).
• If using an air fryer and not the Foodi then toss green beans in oil after removing the chicken and air fry at 390. You might be able to pour out the chicken fat from the air fryer, I'm just not sure since I don't have one.

AIR-FRYER CRISPY CURRY DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, place chicken and enough water to cover. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand 15 minutes at room temperature. Drain and pat dry. , Preheat air fryer to 375°. In a another bowl, mix oil, curry powder, onion salt, garlic powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; add chicken and toss to coat. In batches, place chicken in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170°-175°, 15-17 minutes, turning halfway through. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro.

AIR FRYER THAI CURRY PARTY WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with about 1/2 cup curry paste until well coated. Sprinkle with the rice flour and baking powder and toss again to coat evenly.
• Put the wings in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400 degrees F. Cook for 25 minutes flipping the wings halfway through. Increase the temperature to 425 degrees F (or the highest setting) and bake until the skin is crispy and brown and the wings are cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove the wings from the air fryer and transfer to the bowl with the sauce; toss well.
• Transfer the wings to a platter and drizzle with a touch of honey. Serve immediately.
• Combine the ginger, garlic, shallots, chiles, lime leaves, lemongrass, salt, sugar, fish sauce, white pepper and vegetable oil in a food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside until ready to use or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
• Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, scallions, cilantro and chiles in a large bowl and mix until the honey is dissolved. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

AIR-FRIED CHICKEN

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.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN BREASTS

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.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine the paprika in a bowl with the herbs and garlic granules, if using, together with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Scatter onto a plate. Rub the chicken thighs with the oil, then coat in the spice mix.
• Put in the basket of your air fryer and cook, skin-side down, for 10 mins at 180C. Turn over and cook for a further 10-15 mins until cooked through and the skin is crispy. To check they are cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a knife to see if the juices run clear. Remove from the air fryer immediately to stop the skin from softening.
