Air Fryer Rice Paper Chicken Roll Ups Food

CHICKEN SUMMER ROLLS

Steps:

• Whisk 1/4 cup rice vinegar with 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the chicken and carrot, season with salt to taste and set aside.
• Fill a large bowl with warm water. Working with 2 sheets of rice paper at a time (keep the others covered with a barely damp cloth to prevent curling), immerse the papers in the warm water until slightly softened (about 15 seconds). Remove and spread out on a clean surface or cutting board. Pat dry with a towel to remove excess water.
• Lay 2 pieces of lettuce over the bottom third of the rice paper, leaving about 1/2 inch clear on the edges. Place about 1/3 cup of the chicken-and-carrot mixture on the lettuce, top with 4 to 5 pieces of cucumber and scallion, several mint leaves and about 1 heaping tablespoon of rice.
• Roll up the paper halfway into a cylinder. Fold both edges in to tuck while continuing to roll the paper to seal. Place the rolls on a plate covered with a damp towel so they stay moist as you prepare the remaining rolls. Cut the rolls in half.
• Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of water and the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Serve the rolls with the dipping sauce immediately.

AIR FRYER FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk, garlic, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a large resealable plastic bag or container. Add the chicken pieces, seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight, turning the bag once or twice.
• When you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir well with a fork to combine. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the buttermilk mixture from the bag over the flour and toss well to create small lumps throughout.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with olive oil cooking spray and preheat to 360 degrees F.
• Dredge 3 thighs and 3 drumsticks in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Place the pieces in the preheated air-fryer basket, skin-side up without touching. Spray the chicken generously with the cooking spray and air fry until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crisp and deep golden, about 27 minutes. Check on the chicken halfway through to spray any spots that still look floury with more cooking spray and flip the drumsticks only.
• When the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and season lightly with salt. Repeat the dredging and air-frying process with the remaining chicken. if you like, rewarm the first batch in an oven at 250 degrees F for 10 minutes before serving.

GARLIC CHICKEN ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the butter, basil, parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the compound butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
• Melt 2 more tablespoons of the compound butter in the skillet. Remove from the heat and cover the bottom of the skillet with baguette rounds. Place in the oven and bake until the bottoms are browned and toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts flat on a work surface. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Mix together the mozzarella, mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan in a medium bowl. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the mixture on a chicken breast with a spatula or spoon. Top the mixture with 6 to 7 spinach leaves and a few mushrooms. Roll up the chicken, starting with the narrowest side to create a short, thick roll. Cut the roll in half crosswise. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.
• Remove the skillet from the oven. Flip the baguette rounds. Arrange the chicken cut-side up on top of the toasted baguette rounds. Add a few pats of compound butter on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the rounds with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and bake until the chicken is fully cooked, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Top the asparagus with any remaining compound butter and serve with the roll-ups.

FRIED RICE PAPER WITH FURIKAKE

Steps:

• Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with 1 inch of oil. Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the pot. Heat over medium-high heat until the thermometer registers 380 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Gently place 1 rice paper wrapper in the oil and fry, pushing the wrapper down slightly with a slotted spoon, until doubled in size, puffed, crisp and white, 3 to 5 seconds. Transfer with the slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle generously with furikake while hot. Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers. Break into small pieces and serve.
