Healthy Air-Fryer Salt & Pepper Chicken

Like you, I am constantly looking for healthy dinner recipes to cook for my partner and I – but sometimes it’s challenging to find recipes that ACTUALLY taste good! For that reason, I thought I’d share a recipe that we now enjoy over the weekend to inspire you.

This recipe is quick, I personally think it tastes better than one that you buy from a chinese restaurant, it’s cooked with quality ingredients and you only need a few ingredients on hand.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

 

Salt & Pepper Chicken – Steph Style! 

*serves 3-4

 

Ingredients:

500g Chicken Thighs, diced into 2 Inch pieces

1 Tablespoon Shaoxing Wine

1.5 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

1 Teaspoon Salt

½ Cup Organic Potato Starch

1 Red or green Chili, finely sliced

2 Spring Onions, finely sliced

1 Inch Ginger, finely chopped

3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

Splash of Shaoxing Wine

 

Directions:

  1. Mix the chicken, shaoxing wine, pepper and salt into a bowl & let sit for 15 mins.
  2. Add the Organic Potato Starch to a tupperware bowl with lid, add the chicken & shake it viciously so all the chicken is coated well.
  3. Put the chicken into an air-fryer (Trying not to overlap the pieces too much) and spray with extra virgin olive oil until coated well.
  4. Air Fry for 15 min or until the chicken is crispy and golden in colour. Remember at the halfway point to shake the chicken! And give it an extra little spray of extra virgin olive oil.
  5. When the chicken is nearly done, add the chili, spring onion, ginger, maple syrup and garlic to a hot pan with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and fry for 2-3 mins.
  6. Take off the heat, add the chicken to the pan + a little splash of Shaoxing wine and serve.

 

Enjoy!
