Ran out of ideas what to cook for family. So I attempted to use air fryer to "fry" one whole chicken. Hey, it turned out well-received, cooked perfectly and still moist. My kids kept asking for more.
Ingredients
800g whole young chick
2 tbsp low-sodium salt
1 tbsp five-spice powder
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1/2 cup approx of finely grounded bread crumbs
Method
1. Clean the bird well, remove all organs. Drain off excess water.
2. Massage and rub the whole bird with salt, five-spice powder, followed by oyster sauce. Do not forget to rub the cavity too. Set aside for 1 hour.
3. Slit the bird half-way up at the breast.
4. Pour the bread crumbs onto a plate. Place the bird into the plate and coat all over, cavity too. Tuck in the wings.
5. Place the bird with breast side up in air-fryer. Bake or "fry" at 180C for 35 min. Do not over bake or the meat will be dry. I turned the bird the other way after 30 min.
6. Serve while a little warm.
Note: The bird should be at room temperature upon baking for better results.

Cut old bread into small cubes and bake at 200C for 12 min. When it is cooled, blend till fine. Seal tightly and place in fridge for future use.
I think Phillips air fryer is the most popular air fryer in the world. Now I am using a best air fryer (black color). It'e save my cooking time. I am so happy.
ReplyDeleteAlso I need another air fryer (white color). Have you another air fryer reviews site?
Thank you.
