AIR FRYER CAJUN CHICKEN THIGHS

 

Three ingredients in less than 30 minutes: The entire recipe may be prepared in less than 30 minutes with just three components.

Ingredients:

1. One pound of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2. one tablespoon of Cajun spice
3. Two tablespoons of olive or avocado oil
4. Lemon Juice and coriander for garnishing

Guidelines

1. Using a paper towel, pat the chicken dry.
2. Place the chicken in a big dish or ziploc bag along with the oil and cajun seasoning. Next, evenly distribute the oil and seasoning over the chicken.
3. Place the chicken, skin side down, in the air fryer’s cooking basket.
4. Air Bake the chicken thighs for 11 to 12 minutes on each side at 400 degrees.

 

 

Best Cooking Tips:

• Give the meat room in the cooking pot so that air may circulate and contribute to a crispy, even, and juicy finish.
• Season the chicken with Cajun spice to taste; seasoning may easily be added after cooking. So go ahead and set aside some of the suggested Cajun seasoning for the end.
• The recipe for boneless cajun chicken thighs is the same as that for bone-in cajun chicken thighs, so adjust the cook time accordingly. Since boneless chicken cooks more quickly, you must alter the cook time. You should allow the meat to cook for a further 8 to 10 minutes after flipping it.

Tasty Air Fryer Empanadas Using prepared pie crusts for the dough and heating them in an air fryer makes making empanadas simple! Tender veggies and savoury ground beef fill it to the brim, making it impossible to resist having another.

Since I’m all about convenience, air-frying them is the best option. The only difference between these rich and perfectly cooked golden-brown empanadas cooked in an air fryer and those that require oil frying is that they cook in just ten minutes!

In case you still need more convincing, the dough for this recipe is created with prefabricated pie crust. Put another way, even less preparation! You won’t be able to get enough of the flavorful blend of veggies and spiced ground meat that fills it up.

TIME FOR PREP: 30 minutes
Cooking time is ten minutes.
A total of forty minutes
SERVINGS: Ten enchiladas

 

Ingredients For Tasty Air Fryer Empanadas:

• 4 ounces of diced potato
• 1/2 pound of lean ground beef
• ⅓ cup of minced yellow onion
• Finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• Minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, and cumin
• 1 teaspoon each of oregano and chilli powder
• One-Forth cup beef broth
• One-Tablespoon tomato paste
• Two ready made pie crusts
• Two egg whites
• Two teaspoons of water

 

 

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, boil the diced potatoes. After draining, set away.
Add the ground beef and onion to a large frying pan and sauté until the beef is evenly browned. Add the peas and bell pepper to the pan. After 5 to 7 minutes of sautéing, the veggies should be soft.
Add the cooked potatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, oregano, and chilli powder. After thoroughly mixing in the liquids and spices, sauté the mixture until the liquid has decreased. Take the filling off of the hob.

Roll out the pie dough and cut into circles about 4 inches in diameter using a cookie cutter or a large enough rimmed cup. To get at least ten, you’ll need to gather the leftovers, roll them out, and cut more circles.
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg whites and water to make the egg wash.

Lay out one of the dough circles on a work surface, fill the centre with about 2 tablespoons of filling, and lightly egg wash the edge of one side of the dough.

To form a half circle, fold the dough in half over the filling. Crimp the edges together using a fork. Proceed with the remaining dough and filling.
After brushing each empanada with egg wash, air fry it for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, rotating it halfway through. Make the empanadas in batches, leaving space between them.

• To assemble, place fresh berries and whipped cream on top of the chilled meringue. Add some fresh mint as well.

Depending on how big your air fryer is, you might have to work in batches. Apply a thin layer of cooking spray to the tops of the sticks.
• To achieve consistent cooking, turn them halfway through the 6 to 8 minutes of cooking. The mozzarella sticks have to be crispy and golden brown.
